Lest We Should Ever Forget

Bookmark
Summary:
The guns fell silent at the 11th hour, on 11th November 1918 and as a mark of eternal respect, we in the United Kingdom maintain a full two minutes silence at mid day every year on that same date, now soon approaching .. If these words need any additional introduction, then something has already gone dreadfully wrong .. 💜

Lest We Should Ever Forget

 

The low cloud formation

was spectacular

to state the obvious

   and to say the very least ..

It seemed like

a well-rehearsed salute

or celebration in

   honour of their sacrifice ..

The entire scene

was played out by three

young wounded

Tommies each one carved

from sheet metal

   and painted in matt black ..

Not just for

its effect, on a grass verge

at a particularly

dangerous crossroads but

as a genuine

mark of respect and as a

stark warning to

   everyone lest we ever forget ..

    1. I wish so many in my country weren’t so eager to bury history and relive it. Those 2 minutes of silent respect are a beautiful gift for the memory that shouldn’t be laid to rest

    2. Few lines but it is a little gem here, a little masterpiece… You couldn’t say it better, specially the opening, when nature is participating in it, to proof it is the Truth. Bravo ✨my very dear friend YOU😎🌻
