Eerie, cutting and graphic poem. The scene so vivid in the reader's mind.
It never fails to amaze me as to what depths man can sink to, the horrors of what are capable of And yet the great love we can display often offsets one another.

I could swear I commented on this one before, but maybe- it was just in my mind, and the result was silence- the complete silence of a poem that speaks in terrible years but makes no sound doing it- in complete silence a whole people can disappear completely from the earth, except for their footsteps..great job here.
So profound and yet there is so much more....that will never be said
