THE POPPIES

THE POPPIES

We are made into the cruelest addictive drug known to mankind

Yet we symbolise remembrance and hope

We've grown in battlefields and ooz a gushing vibrant blood red

Some consider us a symbol for peace

When you look at us from afar we portray a beautiful red carpet in meadows 

Yet we encompass everything that is ugly about you!

We are the poppies.
