Apropos Irak...are we not forgeting something?
Maybe are all of my brothers that do not complain as they march through the Halls of Montezuma following the flag.
Right or wrong? we never asked our Land.


Poem Artwork









The last thing he saw at the landing strip
was the hand waiving goodbye before
the gurney was lasted into the plane,
and another soldier was fighting no more.

stark truism that has occurred much too often ...

Every time I hear on the news we have lost more of our men and women I want to literally strangle a certain politician!(Won't mention who cause I am sure there is one or two here who support him) Enough is enough! How many more must be killed or maimed for life? How many more lives by travesty must be affected? Not only does Absence leave a bitter taste anymore!
This is a excellent emotion and thought provoking piece! I am glad I dropped on in for a read!

I will simply echo Richard's words here, Georg; for I cannot better express what your words have evoked in me. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

It is one of the bitter realities of war - a state that our planet has never seen release from since it was created. And to answer Andy's question: if the past is any indicator of what we will do in the future, then we, as a race, are in for a long night of stupidity and suffering. I pray that it will be otherwise ...

Most powerfully penned, Georg. A soldier rarely complains, but the day they stop falling will be a most glorious day of celebration.
