War is inevitable and loss of life it’s by-product, but each individual must have the right to decide if the cause is justified.
Yet you have prosed the horrors of war so eloquently

How in goodness\'s name I always ask myself does a young man know how he will react to war..... we do so so so underestimate what it must take for them to do this and I\'ve read so much especially about WWII (in the Pacific even more than Europe) and Vietnam and just can\'t figure out how they stayed sane. God bless them all......

Well written! War and tears go hand in hand!
White feathers to me are pure, that\'s where I stand! Seriously though! Lots of young men lost their lives, they had no choice, perhaps some ran!

Nicholas Browning said:
I\'m afraid I can\'t quite grasp what the white feather symbolizes, so I did some digging. Apparently a white feather on the cap, at least in terms of war, symbolizes cowardice. If so the poem makes much more sense but then again I could be wrong. Either way I enjoyed the read and research.

L. B. Mek said:
there are many wars, we\'re
called to
that are not ours, to wage
or fight - for..
some by loyalty
of the flag we love
and proudly: serve..
and some, by the profession
we choose to dedicate
or life: to...
many wars, and many
far, far - Too Many
unremembered Heroes..
and this poem, you share
dear empathetic Poet
be, worded testimony
to the legacy of their
incalculable sacrifices
and heroic deeds!

Given that particular time and situation I\'m pretty sure one of two actions would have been undertaken: I become a collector of white feathers OR I enlist, go to the front and shoot my foot off.....
Thanks Nev - WW1 is something I find hard to, yes, forget.

Also - Help! It\'s not so old maybe. In a mainly elderly people\'s church I heard a couple discussing a memorial of their grand-father or someone, who had been in the Boer War!

Good write N.
War is no joke, but in a mad moment I remembered - I had to leave a gal when I went off to the Boer War - being very old, ya know!

Love the one who loves you back
Often the fools fail to recognise until it’s too late to be cherished
Another great message by strong emotive sir
Well done

A long lost love
Or eternal love missed today
I just got nostalgic over a music similar to your lines
Good one dear Neville

When one does not even flinch anymore. It\'s the oddest thing that in love people bring others to such a point. Love is best enjoyed drama-free. Very well penned.

I heard voices sing. That\'s how good this is. It\'s almost a stairway to another realm, and how spiritual it\'s ascend. Solid. Timeless.
