 Memorial DayThoughts

by Amber "V" Moonstone

5/27/17

Reflections of wars that have gone by.
Living through many men dying.
Affects from chemical warfare.
Where have all the soldiers gone?

Give Peace a Chance,
a song written so long ago,
and we still seek peace.
Where have all the soldiers gone?

Marching toward victory,
only to find tragedy.
So much destruction has occured,
Whare have all the soldiers gone?

Innocent lives have been taken,
Families have been shaken.
Countless resources have been spent,
Where have all the soldiers gone?

We fight, and fight,
We die and die,
We want to have peace,
But now all the soldiers are gone!

So many reasons for war.
In the end it is sad.
Young men gone.
Well crafted, Amber

Yes, Amber; your verses express a sad truth - seemingly universal and timeless. You've reminded me of the song, "Where have all the Flowers Gone?" by Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Thank you, Amber. Love and best wishes to you,

Very touching, and I agree with Ron. When will they ever learn.

Where have all the soldiers gone? “Gone to graveyards, every one. When will they ever learn… when will they learn?” We had the answer with the “War to end all wars.” But Danny boy still goes off to war while the rest 'bide 'till summer's on the meadow.”

I'm about to cry…

But are not peacemakers, in the best sense of that word,
really soldiers for freedom? That is the message I take from
your beautiful poem.
