Dear soldier

Please imagine:
A young man dancing in front of a military tank
A woman under the hooves of a royal horse
A million feet marching through the streets of the capitol
A white poppy worn on a lapel
A balaclava wearing punk in an orthodox church
A ship named rainbow warrior
A man threading carnations in the barrel of a rifle
A wall in Berlin smashed down block by block
A mass trespass on a Derbyshire peak
A man stoned and shunned
A song with mouth organ accompaniment
A mother shouting about the ‘disappeared’
A girl arguing for her right to education in Pakistan
A family questioning the law of joint enterprise
A march of pride
An employee blowing the whistle
A cell in Robben Island
A dream
A bronze soldier on a plinth reading a letter that says NO
