Good read Dave - love and prayer could turn the scales methinks - hoping my friend your op has gone well and that we shall see you back here real soon.

I\'m always amazed when one deluded man declares war, the others see fit to join in the madness. Soldiers do the job they signed up for, when they get injured, they get forgotten.

A very powerful and well written poem. Kudos to you for telling the true tale of war. My husband was drafted during the Vietnam War, fortunately he was sent to Germany and never saw combat. He had friends who did go, and came back very different people, one didn\'t come back at all. For the first time, we saw on TV, the horror of war and people reacted. And now it is played out 24/7 on cable news and people are reacting. How long before we become proactive in preventing instead of reactive with killing? Those who serve deserve far better.

Pathetic isn\'t it \"I\'ll have my men sent in to kill your men and children\" and what does it achieve? What did any great war achieve twenty five years later?
I think Sting says it all in his \"childrens crusade\" back in the 80\'s.
Yours a poignant piece in light of what we see in the world today and have seen time and again in history. Yes we must respect veterans who faced the bullets in ignorance of our \"finer, mature late in the day wisdom\". It is by luck alone our own younger days were not ended in war in an exertion of our own youthful zest for combat stirred into action by politics.

War\'s devastation penned with linguistic excellence - - a most compelling read Dave - - veterans deserving sympathy for being used as fodder for further top-brass pensions is something with which I totally agree - -- this powerful verse has been sent to my list of favourites and thanks for sharing your views on those refusing to kill.

Allow the big corporations to make your weapons, and to make sure they work, test them out in the Middle East, and other unlikely basket case regimes. Mind you, the guy sitting in a seat now, can probably obliterate some small countries.

Chewing Gum Doggerel
Rozina said:
Enjoyed this. Chewing gum on pavements, under the desk in the classrooms less nowadays. Dog poo not so much now in the streets. I still look down as I walk to make sure I don\'t step in anything yucky.

Nothing altered here re. the doggie poo but have not noticed chewing gum stuck anywhere for ages now. Love the memory of Lonnie you gave us Dave - those were the days when silly was listened to - thanks for the lighter mood to counter these oh so depressing newscasts today.

I remember this song from wee childhood days along with hang down yer head tom dooley from Lonnie.
A disgusting habit to discard chewing gum onto the pavement. I\'ve never experience that on my shoe but the ubiquitous doggy doo has accosted my footwear all too often. Worse when you take it into a car/van. My worst experience of that ilk was when i made an evening visit to do a survey for some work in a prospects home, on stepping throught the front door into their hallway i stepped into a pile of dog turds on the carpet.... the rest of the house was a shit hole as well.

Somehow I\'m reminded of the attention i got from some right cows in my history.
Nice story. I have a few stories to tell about those scaffold erected concert stages when a sudden change in weather made them death traps.
