I really like this, it gets you thinking about life and how it's perceived.
I think we would rather forget things we regret from the past as those are not the things the make us who we are today it's all of things in life we have achieved and experienced whether they are good or bad. Well done
Best Wishes

Comment from Kahlani
Hi Mike, I really enjoyed the first stanza as the question makes you stop and think. I had a moment of reflection, especially when I got to the second stanza. Thank you for a thought provoking post.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Anything that makes us think and reflect is good for me and I like the way you make us do that with impressive imagery throughout. The poignancy of the eagle flown and the founding fathers weeping makes clear your view of the state of the country particularly, I would assume, relating to division and electoral conflict. Short and succinct with a message of warning. Well done, Mike! Debbie

a nice political-themed poem about current events. the last stanza is a bit ambiguous, not sure where you were going with this poem but the first stanza make up for it.

Comment from ESOSTINE
A thought-provoking piece, very apt at this point in America's history. It is my prayer that the dry bone shall rise again and stand tall and proud, giving hope to the weak, encouraging the strong and uniting her people again. The world is safer with the United States united as one. Well done, dear Mike. Good job.

Comment from Wendy G
The eagle signified strength and peace. It has surely flown, and I fear for the demise of the US, imploding upon itself with hatered and disunity. The founding fathers are surely weeping. I sense the scattered ashes represent the death of the US? Very thought-provoking and succinct poem, saying a lot within two stanzas, and offering a personal challenge as well.

Comment from bob cullen
I wasn't sure if this was in fact completed. There was so much more that could have been added. It left this reader pondering. The first verse demanded my attention. I couldn't come up with a definitive answer. There was both shame and a sense of ignorance. The next three lines left me with three questions. Whose ashes? Why did the eagles fly away? And who were the founding fathers? I would love to learn these answers.
Provocative yes. And demanding more and most definitely inquisitive.

Comment from GWHARGIS
This was a very strong poem. There is no alternative than to stand up and be counted. To hold yourself to a higher standard. Stand up for what you know is right. Don't just mix in the masses. Beautifully written. Gretchen
