We Will Remember Them – By Glen Hughes

LEST WE FORGET
ANZACS to commemorate, diggers gone before,
those who served and lost their lives across our foreign shores.
Freedom is a privilege, be grateful every day,
give thanks to those who gave their all, in tribute, bow and pray.
Tyrants on the warpath accumulating wealth,
brutal dispositions with armaments of stealth.
Might and power engagements, directing when and where,
ordered into battle with millions in despair.
The innocent and hapless, the children and the aged,
caught up in the carnage fearful of the rage.
Striking with precision, structures under stress,
victims in the crossfire cowering in the mess.
The cost to all is countless, resulting from the cause,
the price of peace expendable through unrelenting wars.
Atrocities relentless, too many maimed and dead,
diplomacy is overdue for better days ahead.
ANZACS to commemorate, diggers gone before,
those who served and lost their lives across our foreign shores.
Freedom is a privilege, be grateful every day,
give thanks to those who gave their all, in tribute, bow and pray.
We will remember them.
