Meant Us For (A Remembrance Day Poem)

War is something going on day to day. It must be fought before weapons are used.

I'm going to the legion

where soldiers drink in fear

And stories being told aloud

are never what you'd hear

That all who had a hand

in what was once called war

Were timid to the sound of it

and anxious to be tore

That every drink went down for it

when memories marked the horror

And every thought of better now

was just what they could pour

So ask yourself what's in a drink

and offer yourself more

And fight the problems in the world

each soldier meant us for

note:  Soldiers are always a last resort.

They are failures we thank for all they

did with all our hearts.  They are our

heroes; our protectors and our guiding

lights.  They remind us we are soldiers

there for them.
