An excellent narrative poem. I feel the sentiment of every soldier with the situation like this - war. And thats the consequence in behalf of democracy, there will be a waste of life for hipocrisy.

wow 0.o it seems like you've been through alot. It must be horrible to actually see the devastation firsthand. Your narrative poem is excellent!

An excellent poem on a very real and a very sad side of humanity. People like yourself have my upmost respect and support. May all our thoughts be with those who are putting their life at risk evey second of every day. Simon
