logicus tracticus philosophicus

The Cenotaph stands in silence ,
still remembering.
But on the eleventh day
on the eleventh month ,
At the eleventh hour,
we who will still stand silent.


Like the dead from
all walks of life these nonentities
Stand like sentries ,
for those forgotten armies who’es

Members memories failing stand ,
not trying to forget
For this day, only this one,
Tears and fears over come,
The natural act of trying to,
forget the unnatural ones.

Standing alone in a sea of people,
on a green field of remembrance
One sees all friend and foe alike,
now dead no longer forgotten.

But still rotting,
in faraway fields or dyke,
trenches entrenched.

On the edge of these Fields ,
poppies as red as the blood ,
bled from those,
Now bleached bones ,
exposed by plough shares ,
turning the sod

To feed those ,freed ,
by these bones
feeding the land they now lie in.
