THE BRITISH REMBERING WORD WAR ONE

Word War one , not remembered as a celebration

Though Cameron , the U K PM , would have it so

Whole communities , suffered loses , just 53 Welsh and English

Community's , came through the war , with all the men returning at least alive

One community in Scotland , saw all it's men go off to war

None came back , laying beneath the sod of France and Belgium

Some , not even that , blown apart , nothing left of them at all

Jingoism , patreisam , died on the battlefields of World War One

And beneath the oceans of the world

This is chilling, Ken. Through your words you have taken us to witness terrors never imagined by those who have not seen war.
Very descriptive and educational.
