" August 1914 was just the beginning of . Lions marching into the unknown and oblivion." Yes it was.. even in India, where the British forced Indian youth into service

A fine poem David x Top marks *

Well penned. Made me think of the modern version of the movie, All Quiet on the Western Front.

"I Claim ", is what wars have always said. What purpose are the wars? Whose purpose do they serve? Are the moot questions. Very pertinent forceful writing.deeply perturbing. And acutely truthful. Top score and myfav

True true. We never learn. The need to overcome one another, to oppress one another to be supreme makes us march to war. A pity Nice metaphors and images.

Yes, wars are tragic and leave us with a heavy burden of sadness while the psychopaths profit and delight in our suffering

Very well written & enjoyed

Powerful and touching lines that penetrate to the core of the hearts. Beautifully crafted with compelling imagery. To my Poem List.

A deeply poignamt and moving poem.

Really a poignant bit of verse depicting the evil face of the First World War. Very powerfully and movingly penned with conviction.

August 1914 was just the beginning of. Lions marching into the unknown and oblivion. First World War that ended in 1919, the poet has so nicely described the evils of a great war that brought miseries for the human race.

I felt like I was part of the story In the crowd somewhere just watching As the new young soldiers proudly marched I also envision their heads laying down quietly on the green grass as Death said, “I claim him”, over and over From side to side. It made me feel sadness and anger. I guess it’s because we still have war today. But most importantly it made me feel, And that’s what makes this one a great story poem

Well-penned poem David. And well deserved as 'poem of the day!

The sad reality of a war.But it will go on as man refuses to learn from past mistakes.Nice drop.
