REGARDING THE ONE MINUTE OF SILENCE ON ARMISTICE DAY, by                    
First Line: Small help from that famed silence can we win
Last Line: Brief spell of silence? Nay! Long spell of thought!
Subject(s): Holidays; Silence; Social Protest; Veterans Day; War


Small help from that famed Silence can we win;
One voiceless minute in a year of din:
Sham peace, fast followed by the noise anew
Of martial pomps and armies in review!
What charm to quell War's madness must be sought?
Brief spell of Silence? Nay! long spell of Thought!
