The Hidden Comments

They gave all, and should be honored. But what we do not see, we cannot mourn. They are secreted away, as if in shame. Who do they protect when hidden? grief expressed in a very touching way. love this poem. tony

I believe that mourning falling heroes of war secretly is not only devastating to their families, but also a show of ingratitude to their patriotic service to the nation. An insightful poem nicely penned with conviction. Thanks for sharing.

To answer your final question, the hiding protects the politicians, the ones who always start the wars but never fight in them. You poem is excellent - a 10 +++

Truly a shame. wonderful piece of work.
