Before The Next Bombs Fall Comments

I really thought a lot about this poem and how you expressed it as a young lad. The ravages of war can take it's toll on a lot of people. We should always honor our Veterans who gave of their lives and who are still here with us. Gos bless all of our Veterans! !

I agree with Heather, in that we owe a great debt of gratitude to our American allies for their invaluable assistance in that horrendous war. From what I have learnt about it, we would surely have lost without them. Great poem Joseph - and thanks.

A first hand experience of the trauma and horrors of war! A moving description! !

Joe, you are right. I enjoyed it very much. It is obviously the words of someone who experienced the tragedy of war. Thanks, Dick Lackman

Joe, You were there. What you, and all the others there saw and endured, we of any younger age can only imagine. It's best we hear truth from souls like you, and for that truth, and for what you (and so many others) went through and gave I say thanks. These words ring with a truth that's as real as living, and dying. Words that some may not get, but surely still must feel. Great poem Joseph.

A very clever poem written by a nineteen year old, (or any age come to that) so touching, caring and I think Sir it`s England who should be thanking you and your comrades for your help in our feedom today. thank you.

Beautifully written poem by someone who experienced trials of war. My experiences were dring the Korean War with the United States Navy along with my two brothers. Thanks for a great poem about a great cause.

A touching piece of writing, Try 'Confrontation'.

A beautiful poem combined with passion, pain, lamentation and wisdom. As a reader, I think its a creation strictly universal for all ages. Actually it has crossed the time-bar. Last four lines so uniquely you have planted, more than its imagery and metaphors, conscious is being pinned by its accuracy. Thank you poet, really grateful for your sharing. As if history is still not history, it is alive with us. Write more poet.....LIVE LONG..... Regards, pranab 10+++++
