The Poppies Grew
Lizzie Carberry
The poppies grew,
Among the grass,
The bright red poppies,
How long will they last?
They grow in spaces,
Where soldiers died,
The government said it was great,
I guess they had lied.
The soldiers were told,
It was great at war,
If you didn’t believe them,
You would have people forcing you out of your door.
