Snow flakes gently falling
On a battle ridden field,
Christmas eve their lives were taken
Their fate finally sealed.
A pause in the battle
To celebrate the next day,
No one lingers on the consequences,
On the people that lay slain.
The truce doesn't last,
The next day on they fight,
The crimson tears of Angels-
Splattered on the white.
Young life's sadly wasted
Their not with us now,
Their sacrifice allowed our victory-
Should we really be so proud?

The bombs the bullets. The bodies that fall. The broken the battered. The fodder of war. The young and the brave. Are borrowed to battle. They fall to their fate. With the bullets that rattle.
The fields covered in vibrant red. Too many have lost their lives, Are dead. Deafening gunfire has just ceased, Man proven once again to be the beast.
I will always remember my forefathers, men who fought through times of war. Remember their every sacrifice, at home and upon foreign shores.
For those who gave their lives away, And sacrificed everything each day, We will remember them. For those who go to the fierce war, And them who obey their law, We will remember them.
My brave soldier boy, come back home I'm never gonna have as much courage as you.
"Soldiers yes But not by choice" A line I wrote before my tears silenced my voice Too young to die Too pure to die I just want to know why.
Vermillion, crimson, titian,. A reminder of the soldiers fighting,. The breeze coaxes them to dance,. The soldiers battle as if in a trance,. Their heavy, silky petals ruffle proudly,.
Battle grounds marked out The soldiers return for one last bout The scars they have gathered ... Hidden well out of sight Keeping their thoughts, memories and feelings in the shadows ...
Great stuff! Staring message! 👏 @crowncottage I work at a care home and one man who is 99 was telling me the day of war shouldn't be celebrated as its not thinking of those who've lost members of family from it 😔😘
Thanks guys, I'm really proud of this one, wish more people had noticed it but ohhh well :)@minxyMolly @crowncottage
@minxyMolly he is quite right. War is almost always caused because of rows over land borders, where there are possibilities of financial gain, or religion. The people who suffer are innocent people, often children. It isn't how the world is supposed to be, it's very sad. 😿😿😿
@crowncottage extremely! Then there are civil wars because nothing is justified or equal! Which is a shame really, I have a pen pale in Libya when I heard from her I was so relieved she said the bombs rattled the whole house 😳😘
WW1 was caused by 2 bullets,one through the stomach of a pregnant women, and thank you @Bronwyn_morrison
