Aftermath by R. Steven Reynolds Wednesday, February 21, 2007 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan I wrote this about one subject but some have interpreted it differently. I will leave it up you, the reader. I hope it makes you think. I would appreciate knowing what you think it is about please.
An orchid just beginning to bloom A cygnet who never learned to fly A star child condemned in the womb Gone now and we are left wondering why Your talent trashed your hopes crushed Pushed until you self-extinguished Success, now your cries she has shushed She cares not for those who now are anguished Who urged you die a thousand times? Ask the puritanical harridan She used her tongue to commit crimes She wrecked your mind again and again Your constant torment is at an end Ones who cared are left wondering why Never to heal or ever comprehend We will live with the guilt until we die An orchid just beginning to bloom Too young to be forever in a tomb

War and the "after math."

This poem...all of your writing that I have read makes me think. It takes me away from myself to a distant place in thought. To me, this poem speaks of the atrocity, deceit and ambiguity of war...the "virgin" motivation quickly turned to ashes. For those left breathing...the soul crushed.
