ANZAC Poems
By Koropepe
We Will Remember
Today
ANZAC Day
Remembering the war time heroes
The lost souls
ANZAC flags...half mast
A win
Peace, freedom
Survivors grieving, lost in a world of brutality and sadness
Family lost
Standing in front of the cenotaph
War...does anyone really win?

ANZAC DAY
Silence, today is ANZAC day,
The world is quiet as everyone pays.
Pays their respects for the ones who suffered
and those whose bodies had been covered.
Covered in the diverse shades of their friends and their foes,
Whatever they went through- well nobody knows.
Nobody knows the traumatizing sights they’ve been forced to live through- full of devastation,
Yet the horrible thing is, this is a product of humanity’s own creation.
Families mourning, Soldier's scorning, they call it ‘freedom’.
Freedom, what a twisted word.

War Has No Winners
Anzac day
When we remember
The heroes that died
Fighting a politicians war
Buried in a field of poppies
Dead to the world
We raise our flags
To remember those lost souls
War has no winners
