Deafened (poem) by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on June 10, 2008

Hopefully next president, whomever, will be able to end the war and bring us peace and safety to our men. Saw so many veterans wounded by war at Lebanon, PA vets hospital today, feel sorry it has to be this way. The war does not seem to be accomplishing anything but prices are higher and fears are more abounding. I pray for our soldiers in my nightly prayers. Too many don't come back and lives are torn apart so easily.

Karla --

No one hears the bullet with
their name on it prior to
being absorbed by the wind.

What stanza. Have we ever had peace?

All dead soldiers weren't deaf, they were hit by a bullet with a wrong name on it.

I try so hard to remember those days when I wasn't seeing our troops blown away on the evening news. All I can ask is "How Long". Powerful thoughts Karla. I don't think the world can wait another year for a change in our government.

Peace will come one day. I trust in God it will do so, though those who broke the peace will get their just desert. Victor

Dear Karla,

In order to find peace, one must seek peace. Unfortunately, the Bush administration does not desire peace because there is much more money to be made from war.

Love & Light always and in all ways,
