Poppy fields..
1121 views …painted with love for the soldiers that gave their lives for us on the poppy fields of Flanders……Owlspook wrote this beautiful poem – .................. A golden field with flowers of red
commemorate the lives of the dead
who shed their blood in wars long gone
how could they know they were but pawns
in games that were played by greedy old men
who real purpose was beyond their ken
and these old men took the best of us
without a care, without any fuss
they sent them off into the battle
to be slaughtered like barnyard cattle
they did not care twas not their mind
twas money and power that made them blind
and now again it’s off to war
far away from our home land shore
to bear the brunt of old men games
to feed the fire and the flames
how blind we be to shut our eyes
and play the games of old men lies
afraid to speak afraid to say
this is not right we will not play
but the noose it tightens every day
afraid to say
afraid to say
this is not right we will not play
but the noose it tightens every day ….healing through remembrance
