Remembering wars
only keeps them alive
often renews hate
allows bitterness to thrive
Some still hate those Gerrys
there are others hating Japs
and now it's those Arabs
will we ever let hate lapse
It'll eat at your insides
devour your soul
not giving it up
keeps you from being whole
It denies you your joy
keeps your happiness at bay
all laughter is lost
no-one should ever live this way
That's not why men died
when they fought in these wars
love of country and freedom
not just theirs, mine and yours
Today we honor these men
whether volunteer or draftee
never forgetting their sacrifice
that we might live free
