Without Death, Bloodshed And Suffering

Without death, bloodshed and suffering wars are never won And only hatred and grief survives when the fighting is done And war heroes honoured in every war street parade By war men the memories of war not allowed for to fade The politicians the praises of the war dead do sing Their politicizing of war for sake of power not an honourable thing For God, Flag and Country and National Pride Far too many good young people in wars have died one war leads to another war as the wise one did say And millions for patriotism in wars with their lives do pay For the sake of war the war men create us against they And for the love of a flag the young and brave die in wars today And on Rememberance Day the war men parade up and down In a show of patriotism through the streets of the town.
