Always knew ya had the writer in ya :) Just gotta be motivated. Great poem, written beautifully and very descriptive. With the way things are now in the world, not all see the truth or want to. You did a great job capturing the truth and verbally speaking it. Bravo!

This is a very convicting poem. It really stuck me today, as I just got done reading a very emotional article about PTSD that soldiers come home with, and felt it deeply because of losing the man I knew and my marriage to war and PTSD. Thank you for writing.

FireTemptress.. I'm so .. so .. very sorry. My prayers are as a voice.. a united voice.. someday maybe we can speak the heartbreaking harsh words with such conviction .. the shroud surrounding them becomes transparent. Again FireTemptress.. my very deepest condolences for your unimaginable painful loss. My warmest thank you to the rest for your comments.

It never sieces to amaze me when friends of mine think because we are doing it makes it right but if someone else is doing it then they are evil evil people. Very powerful words I wish everyone would read them
