Literature Text

The lights, one by one, have gone out over Europe.
Oh brave ones, who made the ultimate sacrifice,
Your gift to us has not gone in vain.
We will remember you.

A hundred years along,
Though the folly of mankind still plagues us,
Though we still war and toil against our neighbour,
We will remember you.

You taught us, through your bravery, words and deeds,
That life is fickle and fleeting, and therefore precious
Beyond that of riches upon the earth.
We will remember you.

Though in life, you were enemies,
In death, you all stand united,
We can but hope that you find our remembrance worthy of your sacrifices.
We will endeavour to remember you forevermore.
A small poem addressed to those brave men who fought in the Great War, and how we shall remember their passing.
