LEST WORDS CURSE
sorenbarrett said:
This poem has a circular feel to it as it progresses from birth to death it feels cyclical and is quite metaphoric with great imagery. It seems ethereal and ephemeral in its nature. Very nicely written

ONCE YOUNG MEN WHO SMILED

The vikings looked forward to entering Valhalla reserved for warriors who valiantly died in battle and women who died in childbirth. Today we see things differently and wonder at the useless loss of soldiers that die in battle. A good poem to awaken awareness.

The parabellum of the good psychopath. Failure is your fault, not the system\'s. The poor are the problem; it\'s all their fault. The elderly. The terrorists. I need a good enemy to cover up my lies. Thank you so much for sharing. Sorry for the long comment. Best regards.

Patriotism, Nationalism, Jingoism and their connection to war. I\'ve banged on about these buggers many times before. Any additional contributions, especially with decent poetry such as this I heartily welcome. Thanks.

With good rhyme this poem in telling its story asks the question of why we are treated as we are by those above us and why we put up with it. Very nicely told.

A letter from the Old Country. Thought you were from America for a while there, where something similar, i believe is going on.
Unequal societies become even more unequal.
The UK, it would appear is not the UK I knew in the \'Sixties and \'seventies.

Always a battle between man\'s greed and that of compassion in an overloaded rowboat where so many are drowning who do we take in? Some say all can be saved but with eight billion and growing on a planet with limited resources where do individual freedoms end and group rights begin? A heavy poem
