Rememberance Day

A poem about Remembrance day. I really like it. Written by Jasmin Khangura. It really makes you think, a lot. Enjoy! =)

.............

the colour of green and dirt covering fearless faces
knowing that family and friends are in different places
behind this fearless face is someone just like you
who loved what he does, and everyone knew
as he sits in the grass, waiting
waiting for the right moment to come, and its coming
bang, he looks to his left and sees his only friend
he watches him die, and thinks, thats the end
anger fills inside of him, he has nothing left
nothing, but to fight and do it with all his best
running forward with pure madness
shooting his gun, filled with bliss
thinking to himself every shot a make
is for someone that i cant take
everyone back home is counting on me
so freedom is all they can see
someone sees this mad man's rage
and fires at him not knowing, he made a cage
soon after the war was over, freedom was found
freedom coming from those in the ground
every year, for at least one day
we say, lest we forget, and that should stay

.............

-A rememberance Day poem by Jasmin Khangura.

I know that Rememberance Day is kind of over, but I thought that it was an awesome poem and that you guys should all read it regardless of the time of year. Thousands of people dying for our freedom is something that we should remember every day. I know I try to.

Okay, well, that's it for the update. Later. xD
