Anzac Day

Rating: 5.0


And we will remember them,
brave soliders all
who raised the trumpet
and answered the call,

marched in straight lines
to the war, in tin hats.
How many, these days,
have the courage for that?

Can we take heed and listen,
learn lessons or care?
And never send our young people
to die 'over there'?
