Who see a day of remembrance
As glorification, would that we had no need to march!
That there had never been a war, then more!
Those who call for the abolishment
Of ANZAC day cannot have been
To the hallowed shores of Gallipoli
Or to the dawn services where youth stand guard
The hundreds, thousands of people gathered
Whose lips move in silent prayer are not
Praying for another war, for more fallen heroes
They want only to remember those who died
And the marchers, the veterans with lines
So straight though many walk with canes
As pipes and bands play tunes of ages past
"The Road to Gundegai", "Long Way to Tipperary"
All showing respect (not anything else) so shut the hell up
Get off your couch and stand up for a minute of silence
Then go back to complaining on the radio
Mindless of the men who died so you could do so
(listening to talkback radio and some idiot wanted ANZAC day abolished because it glorifies war... It set me off a tad
)
