Simply Never Bullets
Today the malice succeeds in the shadows veiling integrity,
We need to recall, peace can’t be treated with any triviality.
We must not let it become obscurity of itself be lost in time,
More so, peace not a caveat on closet shelf no one can find.
Doing their part making things better, no remorse or blame,
They have laid lives down for you, so would you do the same?
Only, do not shed a tear for past, they’ve already been done,
Those words been written, and those miseries already spun.
But once hearing those haunted rumblings of this past pain,
Poppy on your chest, this ensures that they were not in vain.
In doing so, keeps a candle lit, so that peace can see its way,
Truly is the only way of holding those mother’s tears at bay.
Since no being should be put into, or to fight those horrors,
Because in one’s mind each moment you relive these terrors.
Hear the mournful calls, mercy come and wash it all away,
Lesson taught, so at all cost peace we must try not to delay.
A poppy on your chest represents freedom they fought for,
We must not forget what was, reassuring world a quiet lore.
More so, unison and goodwill must pass from hand to hand,
Simply never bullets, nor missiles destroying another’s land!
