Dying For Power Comments

Facts do not cease to exist because they are being sidelined.

fantastic writings- Hour by hour, dying for power Digging graves and laying flowers/// superb

well put. to steal a quote from dennis miller it was 'eloquent in its brevity.'

how do you do it? you say so much with so few words.

This poem speaks of tragedy, lives lost. Very poweful statements, ones we must never forget. A reminder every now and then is crucial, we must not forget these brave men. Brian you are a master of portraying a very powerful poem with the use of so few words. BRAVO! ! ! --Melvina--

As usual, not a word wasted. In the dictionary of opposites under Brian Dorn you'll find my name! I would have taken 10 pages to say this. That's why yours have impact. Brilliant. We need to be reminded of this truth Brain, so that maybe someday it can be acted on. Thanks jim

Very deep in meaning. A kind of sadness when I read this poem. Well written.

Another I thought I'd commented on, Brian. Sad truth here, esp. for those who serve. Tersely, perfectly put...

says so much in just a few lines...very effective...well done and thanks for your encouraging comments.. arti

True Poem, Brian and very sad. Our world seems to always at war. Excellent.

This is very well written Brian. It has a strong but true message. The only thing I notice about your poem is that you state 'killing men over and over'- more women each year are in wars now too, but I get your point overall. Just don't forget about the women too :) Great poem and great point, I love it.

Tis all too true, Brian, and after billion of years, has the outcome changed the rules? SOLID, INSIGHTFULL POETIC BRIEVITY WORK...IMAGERY & POWER STATEMENT MAKES THIS BABY A WINNER! ....FRANK/FJR

Great title Brian - the sentiment resounds, great economy of language too. Warmest wishes, Justine

very true...hope there will never be another war...nalini

Wow! This reminds me of a creepy song sung in a scary movie or something. A great job capturing the ominous feel thats been created by war. Really a great poem Brian! Sincerely, Mary

Wish it hadn't ended so abruptly.. Would have liked to read more.. But, indeed, beautiful flow.

I liked this. It is antagonistic, powerful, and the tension it builds- oh the tension! It's beautiful. Cheers; B.W.F
