A poem that really tells it like it is, In the most beautiful way. RIP Ms Szymborska and all those who have fought and are still fighting.

Visited this poem again. Really it is a beautiful poem. Thanks and congratulations for being selected this poem as the modern poem for second time of the poem of the day.

Someone has to clean up! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Wisława Szymborska won the Nobel prize for literature in 1996. She died in 2012.

Gradually constructs its point in a way that mirrors the process: that we gradually forget the lessons of war and its origins, and so the cycle, which the obvious lessons should break, sadly and slowly begins again. Will we ever learn! !

its brilliantly written- like to quote - Those who knew what was going on here must make way for those who know little. And less than little. And finally as little as nothing. // great wisdom in applying word as title- The End and The Beginning

The End of war and The Beginning of cleaning parts of the town, many dead persons lying there upon the grass, duties and plights must be done, each his/her own task in this after war time. A well balanced poem in structure as well as in content. With tad humour included and very touching is this wonderous poem.Congratulations MPOTD.

It is the futility of war...life has to continue. A great poem. Thank you for sharing.

In the grass that has overgrown causes and effects, someone must be stretched out blade of grass in his mouth gazing at the clouds........ so touching and impressive. Beautiful poem shared.

The aftermath of war with all its arguments and intentions, leaves behind the trash of it all and those who pick up the pieces and carry on. The poem carries some memorable lines such as: 'All the cameras have left for another war'

Such a marvelous poem by Wislawa Szymborska...........................

...In the grass that has overgrown causes and effects, someone must be stretched out blade of grass in his mouth gazing at the clouds... Wonderful poem!

Unfortunately those who have to 'clean up' and bear the burden of a war have very little to do with it... A really deep and touching poem...

The war touched her deeply

Wow. A very well written poem and good imagery. I completely agree with the message you are trying to portray. Could you read my poems please?
