  5. Australia Must Prepare for Wars of the Future

    As we honour the fallen on Anzac Day with solemn words like "lest we forget," we must also confront a harsh reality: our nation's tribute to the past shouldn't overshadow the need to prepare for the wars of the future. By doing so, we can ensure that their sacrifice wasn't in vain.

    On #AnzacDay I honour my #McGowan family & all the brave men & women who served & fought for our future. #anzacday2026

  7. Tomorrow, 25 April, Australia holds its annual Día de Muertos: Anzac Day. Flag-shaggers and jingoists will cream their knickers while others will burn sausages on BBQs and get drunk. I'll be thinking about all the dead civilians.

    I've welcomed eleven grandchildren
    But none of them were yours
    Because you never stood a chance
    Fighting for what cause?

    I've heard eleven different reasons
    To justify the sacrifice you made
    But none can mend a broken heart.
    It is a debt never to be repaid.

    I planted eleven trees at home
    To grow as you never could.
    They will live on in your name:
    A legacy carved in wood.

    I placed eleven poppies by your head,
    One for every year since you left.
    They hold all your hopes and dreams
    Now shattered and I am bereft.

    I grieved for you at eleven
    And at twelve and at one.
    I will grieve for you each hour
    Of each day until I am done.

    I had eleven days to say goodbye
    When you told me you'd enrolled.
    You were but a fresh faced lad,
    Just eighteen, truth be told.

    I cried nought but eleven tears
    As you left for foreign lands.
    There would be no postcards, though,
    Just notes scribbled by muddy hands.

    I opened eleven letters that year
    And each contained less of you.
    I would have given anything
    For another before the year was through.

    I stood for eleven seconds that day,
    A young soldier on my stoop,
    Before I could reach out my hand,
    My mind in a never ending loop.

    I read that telegram eleven times
    But even then it didn't sink in
    That you were not coming home to me,
    Your life hadn't a chance to begin.

    I mourned for eleven solemn days
    Before you were returned to me.
    A simple service rationed out,
    I was glad you weren't there to see.

  12. ANCAC Day 2022
    ©️ Nona Rose 2022

    Another morning
    Another break of dawn
    Creeping up
    On weary bones still standing
    Another city
    Another call of bagpipes
    Feeding tears
    To hearts broken long ago
    Another year
    Another loss remembered
    Held sorrowfully
    Just as all the rest
    Another service
    Another lest we forget
    Respectfully said
    By those who know too well
    Another day
    Another minute stood in silence
    Head bowed
    Until we meet again one day

  14. In Remembrance
    ©️ Nona Rose 2021

    I lost you before I knew you
    And now all I have are days
    Where wreaths are place solemnly
    Under figures cast in bronze.
    Poppies lost from pins on chests
    Line streets so overwhelmed
    With grief and sorrow and heartfelt thanks
    That can never be repaid.
    Your memories are lost to me
    As I stand amongst the crowd,
    These people didn't know you either
    And we are gathered here alone.
    Lost behind a veil of tears
    With nowhere left to go
    Save tumbling from cheeks well used
    To days such as these.

  16. @[email protected] @[email protected] It looks like it will be a good match this year. Essendon seems to be back in form, and Collingwood definitely is too.

    The best thing to come out of it will be that either Collingwood or Essendon will lose.

    The downside is that either Collingwood or Essendon will win.
