For King and Country!
Remember.
For freedom!
Remember.
For the security of our country!
Remember.
For the betterment of Mankind!
Worthwhile causes all.
But always remember.
What it cost.
to Rochelle’s weekly prompt, by Ali, has, in turn, prompted a rhyme by me.
Ali surprised himself by coming up with his entry at Christmas, and I surprised myself by what it generated as a pondering.
Life is full of surprises, and of hate, injustice, and sorrow, but it is also, thankfully, equally full of goodness, joy, and love.
May the latter always prevail
Those who gain
don’t feel the pain
don’t count the cost
as those who’ve lost
and families
when left to grieve
do not receive
the spoils of war
and yet there’s more
who feed the hate
and don’t relate
to those who died
and those who cried
because they lied
a sorry tale
a human fail
that’s oft repeated
by those who cheated
yet there is hope
a little scope
to find salvation
for our nation
I pray that hence
we see the sense
and save our world
with
love
