This poem shows the other side of Bri.... one who denounces war and whose heart aches for the war victims......one who can step into the shoes of those affected by dementia! Your experiences in various fields have gone into the making of this action packed dramatic write! However, you are very alert and you needn't fear of the onslaught of dementia in another ten years! Beneath the hilarious tone of the poem, one can see stark truths staring at the face! A sure 10

I agree with you- WHY ARE THERE WARS AND OTHER PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL conflicts between people! A very touching write about people affected by dementia, about war veterans treated in military hospitals and how war affects life of soldiers who fight in the war, no matter which ever country they belong! ! The soldier is someone's son, brother or husband, and in the process so many more lives are affected by war.
