Remembrance Day - Denyse B. Mercier

Eleven O'Clock

The crowd is gathered

Blood stained lapel

In a silence of white crosses

The granite monument inspires

Bronze men, stand up!

The people commemorate your sacrifice

Paraded from the horrific maelstrom

All wars mistaken

Memory engraved with the chisel of war

Outpourings of feelings

In a wreath of poppies

A mother offers the last lament

Of a son fallen for his country

O murderous war!

When will you drop your guns
