Black in center...red about..
Seems the meaning be in doubt
Smothered by the years...gone bye
Passages of time.. deny
They...who knew..and suffered
The few..who still remain...
They...who braved their lives for us
They saw the scarlet stain
They understand...this flower...
Know what lays behind
Had a friend or brothers..gone
Forever...entombed in time
Black in center ...Red about
Mud and blood and red about
Unmarked graves hold men... unsung
Lives...the cost of what was won
Lest we forget
