Poem -
Lest We Should Ever Forget
if this requires any additional introduction, then something has already gone dreadfully wrong š
The low cloud formation
was spectacular
to state the obvious
and to say the very least ..
It seemed like
a well-rehearsed salute
or celebration in
honour of their sacrifice ..
The entire scene
was played out by three
young wounded
Tommies each one carved
from sheet metal
and painted in matt black ..
Not just for
its effect, on a grass verge
at a particularly
dangerous crossroads but
as a genuine
mark of respect and as a
stark warning to
everyone lest we ever forget ..

Jeez I'm so glad you are back & we've hooked up again .. Cheers Shaun .. NevilleĀ
Nev, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else from a friendly environment.
And by proven poets who give a damn in what they write so humanly andĀ reverently as presented above.
Well done to you for not forgetting this day and what it signifies among so many who also choose not to ignore.

Thank you BIG TIME & truly Shaun .. Neville :)
Neville this is beautiful especially the description of the three wounded soldiers...the original image of the lone soldier( is that what it's called?)Ā never fails to make me cry... I have one carved in wood from my sons army mates... I truly find it a moving piece of art. ( As forĀ
'Lest we forget' I think this fabian world government wants us to do exactly that
all culture and history eradicated.

The horrors of war poetically described with sadness & beauty.
Yes, the only beauty in wars are
in the hearts of those who lost their lives for what they believe and want to protect. Apart for that,
damn all wars and praise the greatness of peace!Ā
I'm with you all the way Bernadete .. Oh' and thanks for seeing it my way too .. NevilleĀ
