Remembrance Day, November 11th.
Lest We Forget Again
Warfare and Conflict
Wars
War
carves
horror
into
every
cell.
New
cells
bear
crosses
of
old
memories.
The
body
does
not
forget
traumas
it
has
known.
The
record
remains
in
all
who
stand
or
fall.
Emotions
buried
deep
transmit
signals
still.
All
Wars
of
ages
past
are
with
us
even
now.
The
Earth
does
not
forget,
nor
does
Humanity.
What
we
choose
to
be
and
do
becomes
our
legacy,
War
on
War
on
War

A Force For Good
A Force For Good
Fear shall not rule the nation of our heart,
nor Terror command the world in which we live.
If in loss and death we play our part,
then our precious lives we’ll gladly give…
No evil act can strike our Spirit down.
No terrorist or tyrant can kill our Soul.
Though blood be drawn from every city and town,
we’ll pay the price of Freedom’s heavy toll.
Above racist and religious hate, we must evolve,
united in our values of great worth—
a force for Good. Our determination and resolve
shall win its victory on our Earth.
Flowers shall grow from tears that fall
on the ground of our grief and pain.
For Freedom’s Love we’ll give our all,
knowing that we shall rise again.
