Have You Forgotten Yet?

For the world's events have rumbled on since those gagged days,

Like traffic checked a while at the crossing of city ways:

 

 

And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow

Like the clouds in the lit heavens of life; and you're a man reprieved to go,

 

 

Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare.

But the past is just the same,- and War's a bloody game....

 

 

Have you forgotten yet?

 

 

Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you'll never forget.
