ok 'davkett' I understood, can I ask peopple just one question???

ANZACS

Edgar Wallace

The children unborn shall acclaim
The standard the Anzacs unfurled,
When they made Australasia's fame
The wonder and pride of the world.

Some of you got a V.C.,
Some 'the Gallipoli trot',
Some had a grave by the sea,
And all of you got it damned hot,
And I see you go limping through town
In the faded old hospital blue,
And driving abroad - lying down,
And Lord! But I wish I were you!
I envy you beggars I meet,
From the dirty old hats on your head
To the rusty old boots on your feet -
I envy you living or dead.
A knighthood is fine in its way,
A peerage gives splendour and fame,
But I'd rather have tacked any day
That word to the end of my name.

I'd count it the greatest reward
That ever a man could attain;
I'd sooner be 'Anzac' than 'lord',
I'd sooner be 'Anzac' than 'thane'.
Here's a bar to the medal you'll wear
There's a word that ill glitter and glow,
And an honour a king cannot share
When you're back in the cities you know.

The children unborn shall acclaim
The standard the Anzacs unfurled,
When they made Australasia's fame
The wonder and pride of the world.

Hi,

Well, how does the poem make you feel? Does it make you feel happy? Sad? Bored? Does it make you feel that the ANZACS were brave? Stupid? If you were an Australian, how do you think it would make you feel? If your grand-father had died at Gallipoli, how would this poem make you feel? Proud? Sad? Angry? Maybe all these things, or other feelings entirely?
