remember them this day
giving thanks to them all
let none live yet forgotten
repay them their sacrifices
give back of your freedom
sacrifice of your time
reach out, say thank you
be worthy of their pains
remember that the fallen
are not only on the field
but fallen from society
homeless on the streets
tucked away in hospitals
carelessly overlooked
out of sight and mind
remember them as well
too all those that fought
not for rhetoric party lines
but for freedoms held dear
my gratitude is yours
may I always remember to say thanks
This is how we begin to counter-lever politics...I see that now.
