Why I Wear My Poppy...

I'm laying here still; the walls are shaking
Outside there's history in the making
I lost my friend in the battle today
There's pain in my heart, it won't go away
The outside dirt is falling from the land
Where no men return it should now be banned
I'm fighting so hard will this war never end?
I'm losing friendships I only have one friend
Above my head I hear the bombs go boom
My head is dizzy, have I met my doom?
I'm peaking my head around my own door
Why do we settle our disputes through war?
Families and friends have to deal with news
It's hard to take in, they often refuse
Tears are made and hearts are broken in two
It applies to me, does it affect you?
I'm surrounded by fear it's in the mud
I'd stop this war if one man only could
I think of the war like t'was yesterday
So I salute all that did pass away
I miss you my friends but I still remember
You're why we wear poppies in November
My heart still breaks as I now say goodbye
To you my friends, I'll soon be in the sky.
