Without Just Cause. Comments

Very sad and still true, there are families today everywhere that have lost a father, a son, a husband, a friend. To what? Without just cause is true. A horribly true poem....well written thanks for sharing michael

A very moving poem and story Ivor! Loved reading it a work of art for sure! ! *10*! ! Friend Thad

Your aunt was a lady through and through. Great poem. I still find it amazing that after the senseless slaughter of World War I the Germans embraced Hitler and rushed to plunge the world into war again. It is ironic that in their efforts to avoid war and appease Hitler, the French and British Prime Ministers only emboldened him to take the rest of Czechoslovakia and then Poland. I guess people forget the horrors of war as Carl Sandburg so eloquently stated in his poem 'Grass'. It is a shame really, the number of lives wasted to satisfy tyrants, and while I am a patriot I grieve also for the men who have died to stop the tyrants. I am babbling now. World Wars I an II weigh heavy in my mind, and I do not think mankind has learned the lesson yet.

Brilliant Ivor. What a moving and wonderful poem. A super read and I loved it. Great storyline, and a lovely tribute to a brave lady. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
