Oh how they applauded - clapping - and cheered
Sang their hearts out
As the boys & girls marched
Away too war
But as & when they
As the boys & girls came back
Not marching back as they had
The ranks thinned out
No one sang - no one applauded
No one sang & cheered
The Band plaid out of tune
Harts no longer into playing martial music - patriotic songs
All sounds, rather revolting now!
IT were all - Bolox - BS!

There were no glory - to celebrate - just the dead to remember
The maimed in body & mind to remind them of those who went off to war!
