HOW WILL WORLD WAR ONE BE REMEMBERED?
Will be 2014 , be remembered , simuler to likeA reenactment of August 1914?
A gathering of of the great and good stood upon the Western Esplanade
The local member of parliament , local concealers ,UKIP,
Kissing cousins of the Tea Party , Special relationship
And of course the religions , and there are not a few of them , saying nice prayers
Speeches made saying what a greet sacrifice they made:
'' For God , King Country , The Empire '' '' they died '' '' the supreme sacrifice ''
No mention of the promises made '' of a land fit fore heroes to return to ''
I wager
Return to unemployment , wages cut , slum housing , poverty , hunger and all
A time to celebrate , I think not!
