 Penniluck's legacy

Each One A Soul


For all those heroes soldiers and civilians men woman and children who have died in needless wars and are still dying in needless wars, May they rest in peace, and may this world grow up as it grows old and learns killing is not the answer. God bless them all

Each One A Soul

Upon those fields where heroes lay
No flowers would grow again they`d say
For this was sadly barren ground
Where only lonely death was found
Someone one day looked around
And before them as they gazed
Hearts grew full and so amazed
In awe upon a field of red
Where poppies bloomed there for the dead
Each one a soul of those who fell
And each year the truth they tell
Remind us all not to forget
Those fallen and still falling yet
Those poppies will remain forever
To remind us all to never ever
Forget how many people died
Because of many human lies
Strange though all of it may be
Those poppies grow for you and me
To stop the wars and all the killing
We must all of us be willing
To end the wars and cleanse the land
Of death from one another`s hand
This sea of poppies will ever grow
Just so we will always know
Up above in Heaven high
Those souls live on up in the sky
Patiently they`ll wait my friend
To see if wars will ever end
