Lest we forget

It is only right, that regardless of nationality or creed, we pay respect to the dead who after all died for a cause in which they believed to be true for whatever reason. In death we are all equal, even if in our life we were not.

- DOES it matter?--losing your legs?...
- For people will always be kind,
- And you need not show that you mind
- When the others come in after hunting
- To gobble their muffins and eggs.
- Does it matter?--losing your sight?...
- There's such splendid work for the blind;
- And people will always be kind,
- As you sit on the terrace remembering
- And turning your face to the light.
- Do they matter?--those dreams from the pit?...
- You can drink and forget and be glad,
- And people won't say that you're mad;
- For they'll know you've fought for your country
- And no one will worry a bit.
