IF TODAY HAD BEEN YESTERDAY
sorenbarrett said:
This poem holds a deep metaphor. Although so pertinent to war and nations it also applies to individuals. Animals of the moment and false at heart, who is lover today is victim of a passion crime tomorrow, Allies today enemies tomorrow. Yet the people do not change only the momentary needs, driven by greed and lust. A powerful poem of the human condition or lack there of. A fave

It is sad and a shameful commentary on man the way he treats his environment. This is voiced in this poem well written.

Intriguing poem. Is it metaphorical? Laced with mystery. Read it twice. It has a rhythmic quality to it. Interesting write!

A graphic and powerful statement in this poem that speaks to the horrors of war and what little is accomplished by it. Very well written

The loss of any child is a tragedy let alone if it is your own, sometimes that feeling of loss can be felt as your child grows and becomes a different person as well, nicely expressed and written

In the literal this is a parents worst nightmare. The poem well written with meter carrying us on. Here also is a metaphor where the loss can be the growing up of the child and their leaving of the nest a symbolic death to the parent. This too can be a difficult time. A poem well written

Small things that can distract from the bigger things in life. For the want of a nail so to speak. A lovely piece that deserves contemplation.

Deeply metaphoric this poem talks of the price of selling ones trust misplaced. Well written in its careful presentation it sends its message to the listener. Nicely done

ANGELS WEEP
NinjaGirl said:
There\'s a quote \"for those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.\" Many don\'t blink an eye at a soldier\'s life passing, but the cost of his life is another minute of freedom.

A wonderful antiwar poem and who is not antiwar unless you are making money from it or benefiting politically from it. Well stated and a needed message that continues to go unheard.
