You died in 1916

Was your death quick and clean?
Was your death slow and painful?
Did you think the war will end wars?
Well you were wrong my pal!
A lot of people probably loved you.
Did you have memories of your family?
Did they have memories of you?
I hope you sleep in peace my pal
We will never forget you.
The poppies are growing and the memories are flowing.
We respect our dead.
