Hold on to Humanity
Mutley Ravishes said:
I remember reading a martial arts teacher\'s thoughts on war. He was stationed in China during the Japanese occupation back around WW2. He said, \"In a war, many humans lose their humanity.\" I can\'t imagine what you\'ve witnessed.

The double edged sword, everyone is entitled to humanity you would like think, but those who feed the wars and commit heinous crimes are devoid of any humanity themselves, interesting and well written write.

Hard to be military and be yourself. Little individuality there. A great write about being yourself

Cost of Control
Poetic Licence said:
That is a quite touching, emotional and poignant write of abuse within your own home. As a child very difficult to understand and to cope with, i am glad you made it through. have a good weekend

I think it is the most difficult thing for military person to deal with, being away from those they cherish. They are trained for everything else but not that, must be a wonderful feeling when they return to those welcome arms. Enjoyed the read.

The View from Coal Country

Since I’ve actually seen war, I understand how lesser men sit in their protected places and criticize those of us who provide that protection.

Bumped into you on the poetic parade today.
And despite my misgivings (I\'m anti war and your photo isn\'t encouraging) decided to take a closer look anyway.
Of all your poems I read, I\'d vote for this one, I think.
Good stuff.
