Description
This is a short Poem I wrote six years ago to commemorate Armistice or Remembrance Day (which is held on the 11th of November every year and the Nearest Sunday) for Soldiers of all wars who died for their Country in the face of danger and/or against opression and injustice. It's a poem that says that even the people who caused the wars can be forgiven, but only when they come to to the understanding of their wrongdoing and ask for forgiveness. It's saying that we will ALL be brought to account at some point.

A Poem for Armistice Day
As sure as they who had to fall, failed to flee the bullets call,
So too shall they who caused this woe, still have to answer and to know,
That when they come to Gods’ great hall,
All sorrowed hearts will know their gall,
But unlike those who plead their case, the ones with love will show their face,
To cleanse them of their sad disgrace, and pull them to their feet again,
To know that justice will be done, when hatred from their heart is gone.
Forgiveness then will surely come, to bind together everyone,
Whose thoughts are righteous, true and good, to live in peace, as all men should.
Maurice Vizard.

That when they come to Gods’ great hall,
All sorrowed hearts will know their gall,
But unlike those who plead their case, the ones with love will show their face,
To cleanse them of their sad disgrace, and pull them to their feet again,
To know that justice will be done, when hatred from their heart is gone.
Forgiveness then will surely come, to bind together everyone,
Whose thoughts are righteous, true and good, to live in peace, as all men should.
