My grandfather fought in WWI
My father WWII
Both like today’s soldiers
Spat out, traumatised,
No counsel or support
Unable to be decent fathers
And I bitterly resent their sacrifice
Used by MOD & arms makers
To showcase new killing machines
Instead of today’s heroes
Promoting peace & reconciliation
It will be a privilege this #RemembranceDay to stand again for Defence Humanists and @humanists.uk at the cenotaph. I will be thinking of the pity of war, the necessity of peace, of all the brave people who have fought for it whether in uniform or as civilians, and of those who grieve.
