Word War One, should be not remembered as a celebration

Though Cameron, the U K, PM, would have it so

Whole communities, suffered losses, just 53 Welsh and English

Communities, came through the war, with all the men returning at least alive

One community in Scotland saw all its men go off to war

None came back, laying beneath the sod of France and Belgium

Some, not even that, blown apart, with nothing left of them at all

Jingoism, and patriotism, died on the battlefields of World War One

And beneath the oceans of the blood of the World War One
