There’s a wall in the special exhibition of IWM North called lest we forget, asking peoples opinions of how we should remember the lost of two world wars – i’ve summed it up in this acrostic
The wall spoke clearly
having delivered its verdict
it was clear to those asked – the idea of
not remembering two world wars was a bad one
keep on remembering – silently whispered the opaque squares
it’s what we promised those who fell
note the date – and commemorate the lost of the
great war and the one that took place soon after
