To my dad, a very brave soldier in the Wehrmacht, to bad that very word was misused, for it means,loosely, a defensive might, but nationalists misuse that word all the time, don't they, name the country.
I hate nationalists with a passion, Cause no flags on my dad’s grave, Or for any brave dude Would their life for them cash in? No choice they had but to march, For the Vaterland, their Nation, For the Nationalised sensation, The Nazis over reaching arch, Send them out to fight, For Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles. La glory de Patria, or the Queen, OH! I forgot, it was for might, Beating still the drums they do, Wrap themselves in flags of glory, The mighty right of days gone by, For need of righteousness to sue, If for the nation you must fight, To defend its children’s future, Fight for it, spare me the glory song, For more war it brings, more blight, Maybe it’s a great day to honour and remember, Remember those that fought for me, Not with songs of war and patriotic noise, But with love as burning ember©

Hi Jasmin, Burning Ember it is and always will be... songs of war and patriotic noise is just that... noise! You say it loud, as it should be said, my dear friend.... thank you for sharing...

In Spirit,
