The poem “Flanders Fields” was written by a Canadian doctor during
WWI. It is patriotic and, unfortunately, glories in the continuation
of conflict. Must so many people insist on having an enemy to unite
and fight against?

      In Flanders fields the poppies blow and they in other countries grow.
    E                      F              C                  G
      Why do you think the dead that lie 'cross all borders ‘neath the sky
    F                 E
    Continued quarrel justify?



    Instrumental chorus

    Bm                      C             G                     F
      You say the dead from graveside cry Revenge! So torch you hold on high
    E                         F             C                  G
      Bring up old wrongs and fan the flame, twisting facts so you can claim
    F                   E
      Who is friend and who to blame


    Instrumental chorus

    Bm                    C              G                F
      Between the crosses row on row, in spite of all the tears that flow
    E                    F           C                 G
      Withered grass and flowers die, demons laugh and angels cry
    F                  E
      At our hate that dwarfs the sky
