Sad but accurate. For some few life is cherries and candy floss, and for many it is dirt and blood and terrible loss. A great poem!

Absolutely magnificent!

So powerful and well written! This poem should not have only gotten third place : )

Sk sad when we follow the flag thinking it right...

Such a powerful verse, Magnificent, Kim. And congratulations on the finish at the spring contest.

Thanks for sharing Kim! A big welcome back : ) I thought I'd been banned from the site! lol x Tried for months to get back on! Where's Bri and Cowboy Ron? And I'm also missing LeeAnne. Lovely to see you're back on x

Great to see you again, Kim! Welcome back.

Wow, congratulations, Kim! A great poem that depicts the love of one's country. So well crafted and cleverly executed. You got tons of awards, Kim! So proud of you!

Congratulations Kim Barney for your poem getting third place in the competition. This poem has been written from a humanist point of view.The soldier did not want to to go to war, because in his heart he did not approve it.But he had to obey the order, because he loved his country.(Part-1)
