Fighting wars just like before
Hate to think how many more
Hour by hour, dying for power
Digging graves and laying flowers
killing men again and again
That's the way its always been
Another I thought I'd commented on, Brian. Sad truth here, esp. for those who serve. Tersely, perfectly put...
says so much in just a few lines...very effective...well done and thanks for your encouraging comments.. arti
True Poem, Brian and very sad. Our world seems to always at war. Excellent.
This is very well written Brian. It has a strong but true message. The only thing I notice about your poem is that you state 'killing men over and over'- more women each year are in wars now too, but I get your point overall. Just don't forget about the women too :) Great poem and great point, I love it.
fantastic writings- Hour by hour, dying for power Digging graves and laying flowers/// superb
well put. to steal a quote from dennis miller it was 'eloquent in its brevity.'
This poem speaks of tragedy, lives lost. Very poweful statements, ones we must never forget. A reminder every now and then is crucial, we must not forget these brave men. Brian you are a master of portraying a very powerful poem with the use of so few words. BRAVO! ! ! --Melvina--
As usual, not a word wasted. In the dictionary of opposites under Brian Dorn you'll find my name! I would have taken 10 pages to say this. That's why yours have impact. Brilliant. We need to be reminded of this truth Brain, so that maybe someday it can be acted on. Thanks jim
