How do we measure honor

Into rain upon a sand Footsteps lost Pure the plan Rest in circle complete Find her selling on the street Bought herself a man And the tears are barrel won Six shots Old and young Know no place Just another pretty face Little lady is not Done Silver stars on a stage Hanoi Jane plays Just a target in a scope Keep pumping dope Last of dollars tucked away And my brothers die See hurt in their eyes Left them behind Burden heavy on my mind Heart is cold as stone Still in guilt alone My brethren play the flute To edge Ruthless view I thought I knew But Into rain upon a sand Footsteps lost Pure the plan Rest in circle complete Find her selling on the street Bought herself a man

The horrors of wars/disasters are those images (ghosts) that linger long after the wars are over. Unfortunately, the minds of warriors are not taught how to block the ghosts!
Well written, Walt.

Describes well the horror that soldiers go through, first, in war, and then much later when they can't forget.

Sir, if you use the firefox browser, the authorsden editor will take the poem's configuration exactly as you have made it in Word. At least it worked for me. Nice poem, by the way! Greetings, D.T. de Bruijn.
