This is a graphic and cold sad poem of the horrors of war and its effects on those that fought it. Made into what we never were meant to be. Well done and a fave

That is a lovely touching and caringly constructed write, if flows in a gentle and tender way, pleasure to read

GUILT BY REASON
sorenbarrett said:
The beginning of this poem left me with feelings of being a liar accused and the anxiety that accompanies being called out for it and the punishment that follows. Then reading the authors note it took on a different light that of judgement. Well written

Within these lines lies the distance between two in a relationship. There is the positive and negative the duality that yin and yang of nature. The warmth and the cold. Nicely composed and with great flow a fave

That ghost seems to be waiting for me every morning Norman to write the words it had come up with when I was asleep. Fine words.

This captures well the poet that is obsessed with getting down transient and fading emotions on paper before they drift away. Well done

Very fine words Norman, those who bomb others do not always realise what they have created, it is not their fault though they are just following orders from those who are in power.

People are only aware of a comforting imperfection that leads them to illusory rebellion .
Conscientious politicians don\'t care.

A poignant poem. My father in WWII was a navigator that told the plane where to drop its bombs on Germany. I asked him about how he felt dropping bombs on civilians and he stated that war is hell and one does what they have to do. I often wonder if politicians feel the same way. Politics are hell and one does what one has to do. Is that all that life is, is expediency? Nicely written and thought provoking
