FredPeyer said:

Kurt, your first poem made me think deeply. Indeed, where do they go? We expect them to rejoin civilian life as if nothing happened. Your poems are extraordinary!

Farewell To Arms (+1)
Doggerel Dave said:

Great question - those first two lines. Homelessness, PTSD, high suicide rates, scandals. Picture not good.
Plus, well said Jerry.

The Wolf Comes Knocking (+1)
L. B. Mek said:

\'A new Resurrection
they’re about to ensure

Through hatred and envy..\'

utilising systemic divisive strategies
that has society - fractioning
with each new surge
of identity politics, where
me, myself and I
count first - learnt, by following
capitalisms stranglehold
on democracy\'s warped fragility
ripe, for those with greed
as their most fervent need
to evermore dominate
and pitifully, knowingly decimate...

thanks for inspiring my little chorus of reply, to your insightful and ever accurate commentary of society\'s many plagues my friend,
a great write, once again!

This may not be a \'poetic\' response, Kurt, but I do have these \'epiphanous\' moments every once in a while, then they evaporate as soon as I put pen to paper!

... to be realised,
really liked this one my friend,
I think that word was hijacked by theological zealot\'s, unfairly
it can add such depth of meaningful flavour, if simply versed as a metaphor to self-discovery

\'The immediacy of time\'
reads so true, makes me think its a classic line I\'ve heard time n again, when I\'m certain I have never come across it worded so acutely before

Well said, Kurt, as usual!
The older I get the more I realize that the commodity I need the most is not money, but time. But contrary to money, time cannot be replenished.

Only The Dead
L. B. Mek said:

\'Because only the dead
—know the end of war\',
so depressingly true, but we must never give up in that dream of Civility
we rely upon, much more than we dare ponder,
as always, a write of pertinent and insightful timeless-commentary
