Headless bodies burned flesh smell of decay A wedding band on a slim delicate finger Shades of memories a future that can never be A lonely head in a lush green field eyes wide open In the hollow a reflection of untold love Mountains of starved children shiny bones flesh torn off the bodies Shocked and awed by the images of mothers miscarrying their unborn children Shocked and awed by the silent fear countless civilians dead dead dead These are images we should put in a frame Mount them in our homes so we never forget; the true horror of war

Meanwhile we have statues of men like Saddam to remind us of a people who are impaired not by war but by only one man.

"The Horror Of War" brought me a very deep message, which I am still digesting.
It is a poem that calls for social and human responsibilities.

I thank the author for postiong this important call today.

Healt and Enthusiam.

I Salute the Author.

Birgitta, this is a good write but it left a bad taste in my mouth. Probably what it was meant to do. One thing, I don't believe I would want a picture such as you describe hanging in my home for people to see. Especially my grandchildren. War is filled with miseries. Some should be recanted and some should not be revealed. Love and Peace, Paul
