A thought provoking piece or should I say peace

Thanks for sharing

Great poem, Manfred, made even more poignant on Remembrance Day.

It is one thing to remember the sacrifice and honour the fallen. It is something else again to learn from the past, and grow fields of Peace Lillys instead of white crosses.

Thank you for your kind comments, Catherine, Heather, Allan and Sue.
Yes, unashamedly an anti-war piece without disrespect to those who serve and have served ...
