with calls to glory they entice weak souls
those to be imprisoned

Your poem is an indictment of humanity; it is an open book to its folly. Thank you, Jon. Love and peace,

John I saved this one consider it a compliment to such an all out effort, the poem reads like a rose opening it's pedals to the morning sun, and the mockingbird singing trallaalllalallala indeed.
You have reached in deep, and brought much wisdom, as your colourful words climb like a vine to reach the summit.
Bless You! Jasmin Horst

This brought memories for me of some of the warnings (unheeded) in the briliant poems of the WW1 poets, finely written, it shows your obvious skill and knowledge- I always know when I read you that it will be great writing without fail.

Yes, the sound of the fife will conjure up many feeling both old and new in times of struggle and strife. Your words I find haunting for the message they carry....

Be always safe,

Jon,
'...a pibroch sad to play'...maybe it's just my reading but I find this unsettling and haunting and the more than once use of tra-la, tra-la, ironic; that's no reflection on the skill of delivery and the excellent images, in fact it's your great ability to draw response from the reader, a response that I think matters. Gene's right, this is warning.

Thanks for the warning, Jon. I'm captivated by your lines
to the point that I may well march off with the next piper who
invades my neighborhood...tra-la tra-la, tra-le tra-le. This
is music to my ears, my friend. -gene.
