    "Why are they selling poppies, mummy?
    Selling poppies in town today?
    The poppies, child, are flowers of love
    For the men who marched away.

    But why have they chosen the poppy, mummy?
    Why not a beautiful rose?
    Because, my child, men fought and died
    In the fields where poppies grow.

    But why are the poppies so red, mummy?
    Why are the poppies so red?
    Red is the colour of blood, my child,
    The blood that our soldiers shed.

    The heart of the poppy is black, mummy
    Why does it have to be black?
    Black, my child is the symbol of grief
    For the men who never came back.

    But why mummy, are you crying so?
    Your tears are giving you pain
    My tears are for you, my child
    For, the world is forgetting again"

    how true that is all the things the soldiers fought for in those wars are under attack by people who probably havn't necessarily forgot but don't realise what they actually were, the nhs,social housing, the right to share the profits/benefits from the earths resources etc

    I'm going to post

    My own contribution tomorrow morning before eleven o'clock, but I doubt it will be as classy or poignant as that one, mate. I love it.
    By the way, have you seen Steve's piccie of himself from years ago on there??:D
