by Ernest Bywater
Copyright 2007 by Ernest Bywater as Ernest Edwards
Poem Story: Can be skipped if you want to. Three short poems from the book A Fighting Heritage. They summarise the critical events of the stories themselves. The book demonstrates what happens when irresistible forces meet unmovable objects in human encounters on the battlefield - wars are fought by people, not equipment.

For the People
For the people, they stand tall;
For the people, they give their all;
On their future they don’t dwell;
For a battle’s a ferocious hell.
For the people, is their battle cry;
For the people, they fight and die;
In great reverence none condemn;
For the people remember them.
The Landing’s Field
An easy war in the planning,
Huge numbers in the manning.
Ambition by the King of Dareed,
Powered by U MAMA’s greed.
Big profits for some people.<
