BONFYRE POEM

BONFYRE POEM REMEMBER REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER AND STAND SILENT STAND SILENT WHERE MARTYRS BURNED FOR BELIEFS, AND GAVE UP THEIR SOULS WHERE WE LAY POPPY WREATHS. AND IF FOOLS BREAK SILENCE WITH TALK AND NOISE, REMIND THEM OF HISTORY, AND FAMILIES DESTROYED, OF BOMBS ON THE TOWN AND BRAVE LEWES TEENAGE BOYS. FIGHTING BEFORE THEY WERE MEN. AND HUNDREDS MORE NAMES IN BRONZE THAT ONCE WERE PEOPLE, JUST LIKE THEM. THEN DEMAND THAT THEY STAND WITH SILENT RESPECT - FOR THOSE WHO HAVE GONE, AND FOR THOSE WHO SERVE FOR THEM YET. REMEMBER REMEMBER GOD BLESS THE BONFYRE...
