How Many Men

How many men

on this noveber 11th
we must gather to remember
all the men who have lost their lives
in order to protect us

we must buy a poppy
we must show our pride
we must teach our children what it means

we must learn from history
and help our soliders
so it never happens again

and again and again and again
and another plane lands with men

how many men does our country have to send in order to win this war
how many men does our country have to fly back in cofins buiried in the floor
how many woman does our country have to help knowing their husbands are dead
and how many bulitines does our newpaper have to write saying another one is dead

and again and again and again
and another plane lands with men
how many men does our country have to send, to win this never ending war

yet we are still forgeting
the horrors of he past
the men who fought are dieing
and we have no one to remind us

the children don't care
they just want to play around
and what caused world war 2
is here again
what will happen to us
will it happen again

and again and again and again
and another plane lands with men

how many men does our country have to send in order to win this war
how many men does our country have to fly back in cofins buiried in the floor
how many woman does our country have to help knowing their husbands are dead
and how many bulitines does our newpaper have to write saying another one is dead

and again and again and again
and another plane lands with men
how many men does our country have to send, to win this never ending war

God cause all to oppose this

God cause all to oppose this illegal and violent invasion of other countries
and acquaint people as to the truth of the causation of 911

That was really good. It told

That was really good. It told the truth, and asked the question, alot of us ask, How many men? do we have to sacrifice, how many lives do we have to end, before people relise this isnt what we need. Things need to change, but nobody wants to make it happen. Its sad, yet very true. Thank you for writing this poem, it shows where your heart is. :) Very good.
