On Being Called to War
Dove said:
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!

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.

On Being Called to War
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

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.

Done with them, done with them, done, done , done.....but soddit they\'re still there in my memory goading me.
Why are the relationships with sharp edges, maybe tempestuous ones, the ones which continually trip into out memories?
