The blood red poppies
Bombs fall as the bugle plays
Ad infinitum
Two minutes silence
As deafening war rages
So people protest
Remember the dead
But don't lose sight of the truth
Your child might be next

This started off as 3 separate haiku poems but I liked how they seemed to fit together. The 'poetry police' will probably not approve.
