One Hundred Years Ago Just Now

All the guns fell silent,

Though some had been shot

Even that morning (foolish loss).


We were singing in church at 11am,

Though a few boys and I stood outside

For a minute, in silent,

Remembering that time when all did this,

To commemorate the dead,

The Great War,

The folly and the pain

At an end.


Except it is not really at an end.

WWII, that outspring, is,

But border conflicts 

Established then

Continue.
