HOW WILL WORLD WAR ONE BE REMEMBERED?

Will be 2014 , be remembered , simuler to like

A reenactment of August 1914?

A gathering of of the great and good stood upon the Western Esplanade

The local member of parliament , local concealers ,UKIP,

Kissing cousins of the Tea Party , Special relationship

And of course the religions , and there are not a few of them , saying nice prayers

Speeches made saying what a greet sacrifice they made:

'' For God , King Country , The Empire '' '' they died '' '' the supreme sacrifice ''

No mention of the promises made '' of a land fit fore heroes to return to ''

I wager

Return to unemployment , wages cut , slum housing , poverty , hunger and all

A time to celebrate , I think not!
