We Also Serve

Remembering upon this special day,
We pay due homage, with this proud display,
To those who died for nations, queens and kings,
Democracy, and all those other things.

Their families' and country's joy and pride,
Brave hirelings for state-sponsored homicide,
They lived in mud and fought with rats and lice,
And foreigners; so that was rather nice.

Despite all cost, they saw their duty out;
Which is what statesmanship is all about.
They did their service, and we have done ours:
They gave their lives; we've posed with paper flowers.
