FAILING THE DEAD

By 3rd August 2017December 9th, 2019No Comments

One hundred years and still we fail

The fallen dead of Passchendaele

Who fought a war to end all wars

Believing in their righteous cause

Yet year on year we fight again

Inflicting misery and pain

Those Spirits of The First World War

Must wonder what their death was for

Pray God that sense will soon prevail

A lesson learnt from Passchendaele
