The Anxious Dead Comments

That poem is lovely

We must adopt and feel the cruelty we must not use guns to kill the innocent

Bid them be patient, and some day, anon, They shall feel earth enwrapt in silence deep; ... Beautiful expression to expose the tragedy of human civilization. Skilled craft indeed.

The poet died around the time of WW One. I wonder if that was the war he was writing about or an earlier one? Well written. I enjoyed reading this one.

Great poem. Having met a soilder who had seen heavy battle in Iraque it accuratly expresses thoughts they may have

Extemely moving. Falls just short of 'In Flanders Fields'.
