Lest we Forget

Red poppies rule over warEver more run away from warMake peace stop war

Every time war ends some don’t returnMurder then deathBroken hearts brokenRemember themAnother day another life goneNothing left after warCome away from warEvery family worriedDeath lies in warAway from war away from deathYou might love someone who went to war Morgan

Red blood nothing more than red bloodExciting war is very hard to forgetMake people with tears for one minuteEvery day people screaming and runningMurder is all they want to doBend crunch snap screams from other lands Run run quickly war is comingAxes guns bazookas and tanks crashing and bangingNever forget WWI and WWII

Cutting bodies with red bloodEvery day for many years you could hear gunsDay one day 11.11.1918 lest we forgetAnd always cry with big tearsYay the war is over WWI Tim

Remember the people who died for usEven the animals diedMurder was a crimeEvery day was sadnessMiserable days came behind the warBefore the war started it was peaceRun run and don’t give upAnother day another dead bodyNever give upCourage is the spiritEven I feel sadDon’t forget themAnother day there is a tear of sadnessYesterday was history but tomorrow is a mystery Tori

Remember the soldiers who died in the warEverybody who died will be in peace Make people stop the warEverybody make friends war will never be heard againMake way war is comingBeg men not to go to warRoaring rage goes through the people in warAfter the war there is still miseryNot one person has ever forgotten about warCould war be replaced by talking it overEven people who weren’t there feel sadDoctors in the war are a great helpAlmost everyone dies in the warYesterday is the past so is war Anna

Red is the colour of the poppyEveryone remembers themMaybe war still goes on todayEveryone remembers the people who fought for us

Many years later war was finishedBroken hearts broken legs broken everythingRemembrance Day to rememberAnyone could have diedNothing stopped them from fightingCourage ran inside all of themEven the soldiers were scaredDaisies poppies and lots moreAnyone and everyone remembers themYet we have a saying lest we forget Lauren

Red blood lies on the groundEmergencies all aroundMemories are things people rememberEveryday people crying tearsMurders make screams and shoutsBrave adults went to warRemember the wars that have passedAnd people shot to deathNobody likes WWI and WWIICourage people bring

Everyone dies each dayDisgraceful things make people dieAwful things changeYesteryear we must not forget Priscilla

Red is the colour of warEnd we would all like the war to endMake it all go awayEveryday I think about itMay Australia have luckBe strong be brave and fightRemember those that were brave and went to warAlways rememberNever forgetCries moans and screams are heardEnd it end it end itDeath lies in the hands of warAnother day one by oneYears pass by more red remains in the fields Danielle

Remember all the young men that went to warEvery man woman and child still remember the sadnessMen went to war with braveryEven now people still cryMaybe the wars has stoppedBig tanks killed lotsRace through the bloodAll the fields were covered in poppiesNever start a fightCan we still be as braveEvil died evil livedDawn has come we still rememberAustralians lost their lives so did othersYoung men had to go to war Lucy

Remember the people who diedEverybody never forgetsMurder and screams were all you heardEvery day people died

Many poppies may still be aroundBe sure countries never fightRuined houses and ruined countriesAny two countries can start a warNever try to start a warClever people would not start a warEverybody knows you can lose a life in a warDays went by and we didn’t forgetAustralia lost thousands of people in the warYoung people died (too young) and never came back Amy

Remembrance Day is to rememberEvery war is very badMurder is very badEvil people lived and diedMake people get more bazookasBones are a symbol of deathRifles are old gunsAdolf Hitler was very badNazis are evil German people

Cool no more warEvery war lots of people dieDon’t dieAnother day another deathYay the war is over Maxen

Red poppies in fieldsEmergencies like legs chopped offMemories of people who diedEvery day of the years tears in your eyesMurder murder as sadness spreadsBattle fields bodies deadRemember remember those yearsAll over battle fields screams and moansNothing good all around the fieldsCourage all overEvery day someone diedDay and days have past but it did not stopAnd some died and some did notYay yay it is finally over Laura

Red is the colour of violence and bloodEvery country has a fightMurder murder murder and it never stopsElectric tanks and gunsMost guns are rifles, cannons, bazookas and other gunsBodies covered with redRed poppies the colour of bloodAtomic bombs can killNever ending wars in the warsCourageous people fight for their countryEnding to some heartsDonate flowers to the graveAnd most of all red poppiesYesteryear was murder and today I don’t know about it Richard

Red is the colour of blood and warEvery person gets guns guns gunsMust remember about the people who saved our livesEveryone comes to listen about those in war

Murdering can cause warBombs exploding can end people’s livesRed poppies lie around when it’s finishedArmies fighting for their livesNever has anyone been forgottenCount how many people have died to save our livesEnough fighting or there will be more gravesDay and night warriors go and fightA soldier your family will be rememberedYesteryear was a history but today is a mystery Rebecca

Remembrance Day is importantEver since the war finished there was peaceMake way for the tanksEvery second one life lostMurder murder murderBlood everywhereRemember the people who diedAnother day 1000 lives lostNothing good comes from war

Courage for everyoneEvery family has patienceDead dead deadAt last the wars finishedYay I’m still alive Genevieve

Red blood goes all over the groundEvery person nearly diedMany many men diedEyes are full of tearsMaybe everyone who went to war diedBe careful of the bodiesRed poppies go all over the countryA person will die againNever look at the dead humanCan you see a gunEach person who went to war was fighting Daddy might be deadA bad day todayYay we might have got saved Wang Wang

Remember all who have gone through warEver since war cameMemories running everywhereEvery year countsMurder comes and it never stopsBringing hopes through warRed poppies everywhereAfter war poppies growNothing makes their hearts stopCrying children sobbing mothers ran away from warEveryday people dieDeath comes from murderAlways don’t give upYoung ones grow and more people die Jessica

Ride through the fields of redEnd of the quiet daysMan and woman nearly all deadEnd of the silent days

More than just lives lostBroken hearts and livesRemember the days of cruel and badAnd a minute of silenceNever starts againClosing the warEnding itDo not go to warAnd loseYour life Cassius

Remembrance Day is really sadEvery person dies down thereMight the people be aliveEvery human has sadnessMight the parents have happinessBut now they’re dead can’t be aliveRed poppies come aliveAnother day more deathNow we share share a tear when we hear bad news

Courage doesn’t cryEvery person is miserable that goes to warDead people have no brainAnyone could go to battleYou could be in the battle too

Red is the colour that presents poppies and bloodEveryone needs time to remember in peaceMurder spreads in warEven harmless animals have gotten shotMany people have lost their livesBoasting and crying people are sadRemember themAnyone can dieNothing is good every war has an endCooperation is nowhere to be heard in warEverything must be quiet to thinkDay after day more soldiers are killedAnybody could be found deadYesterday war was still on

Tyra

Red poppies symbolize the bloodEmergencies are everywhereMake your life better by stopping the warEvery bit of blood means death

Moments pass and days go byBones are found in the ground todayRun away with silence but be happyAustralia is a great countryNearly everyone who went to war was killedCourage makes the soldiers strongEvil people died and evil people livedDon’t explode bombsA happy life is a life without warYou have to stop the war people are getting hurt

Remembrance Day is a very important dayEverything and everyone was killed or shotMany people feel sadness and miserableEverything still and silentMillions of people die or injuredBlood lying everywhereRemember everyone who died for usAll aren’t lucky but some areNot everything and everyone survived

Chilling cries heard miles awayEvery family with broken heartsDead people lying everywhereAnything’s better than warYesteryear it happened but not it’s over

Jana

Red poppies cover fields of deathEveryone is waitingMoments are passing stop the warEat the badness and let out the goodnessMore we lose more we cryBurning hearts are cryingRemember the lost ones who fought for our worldAustralia is still a good countryNearly every Jew was killedCall the pigeons to send messagesEager to win the battlesDays are passing more we loseAnother day has passed more injuredYou have to stop the war Anastasia
