Comment from writerwish
The message in here is very powerful and very well expressed. I especially like the picturees of the nightmares of bodies strewn, faces looking up. Meter a little off. Good proximate ryhning with anger andstrangers.

Thank you for your kind words and advice. I have to practice with the meter.
Comment from donaldww
In this excellent set of quatrains, the poet sets forth his/her feelings about war, and also offers a reason for what war is, and why we end up in them. Since war is not a natural state
...alien to our ken
the reason set forth is:
War is just the governments way,
of blinding us from the truth,
"We have to save the people" they say,
but where the Hell's the proof!!
Excellent rhymes and imagery!
Cheers,
DW

Much obliged for your very kind appraisal.
Comment from nighttripper
This is a great protest poem and actually refreshing to read as more often than not the war poetry I read on here is glorifying and supporting these useless causes. Sending young men and women to their death for the greedy few is heartbreaking. Well done and good luck in the contest.

To glorify war is never to have been in one. Thanks for your great review.

Politics and religion are responsible for many wars. Our fate in retrospect is not their concern at all. They maintain their dominance over their loyal group to gain their admiration and respect as we all die on the scene.

Wow this is done with very powerful words and emotions. The descriptions are stark and vivid. The rhyming lines are well done. This is excellent.

As I was reading your beautiful poem, I could sense your cynicism towards it all. You created powerful images and screaming rhymes for all us to see, and that is what made it beautiful.
I loved it!!
