Description
obedience
is not enough
for our fathers
we have to learn
to die
mother
doesn't count
the cold son
but what could
become
while she's
defenceless
a part
of the weaker
sex
occupied
until
rape is the rule
tenderness
mutilated
utopia
in such a system
nobody comes
and we climb
this plain
never reaching
the top
meanwhile
on a high platform
leaders proclaim
their devious plans
while
behind barbed wire
we shoot
the picture
of the year

A truism. Wonderful work and I love the image you have put with it. Excellent
Superb writing, stunning art to go with it.
Excellent words and a well illustrated statement !!~BRAVO~!!
so true !.., specially the last strophe touched me great image as well
"for what it's worth" Any anti-war poem is worthwhile, particularly as well-crafted as this one. The only word which didn't seem [imho] to sit easily in the poem was 'dodgy' since it seemed at variance with the considered solemnity of the rest of the poem. This isn't a criticism, simply a matter of personal taste. I concur completely with the sentiments [so well] expressed. Mike
Fantastic and creative artwork and poem my friend....!!!!
Thanks for pointing that out, Mike. Changed it to "devious", it looks and reads much better now, I think.
Very heartfelt and moving.
Wow. Your words grabbed my very soul. A heavy sigh escaped me. The image only magnifies the words. A five somehow doesn't do it justice.
wow this really touched me. What a beautifule soul you must have.You are a true artist Thank you I now believe there are people around that think like me..
