[bodytext] => If you get all the subtle references to other poms within this poem, give yourself a pat on the back In Flanders Fields the bodies rot But no one seems to give it much thought We beheld the Charge of the Light Brigade But no one seems to remember that day Nor has it been that long since Joyce Kilmer beheld the trees, From across the shattered no-man’s-land, swaying in the breeze How soon we break faith with those who die How soon we see history with a blind eye Years ago the cannon’s blared Years ago someone might have cared Yet the larks still bravely singing fly Across the same small stretch of sky That John McCrae may have spied In the last moments before he died. .
