Wars are the most fatal disease humanity ever faced, I could never understand how cruel and heartless people, or careless enough to cause or start a war specially the war of Iraq what was the point?! There were no nuclear weapons and Iraqi soldiers weren't attacking USA...How many people have died from both the army and the people, peace is missing from this world;hopefully not forever, great work, thank you for sharing

This is one of only 3 poems that has ever made me truly tear up. The way you broke this story up was wonderful... I will be reading this one again in the future.
Nobody really wins in a war. What does it leave? It leaves a lot of orphaned children and widowed wives at the least. Every soldier, every rebel, is somebody's husband, wife, daughter, son.
This is a wonderful write.
Really nice poem, I like the way you write. It's not like distinct, it's not sitting there yelling out at you saying its a poem. In all of this poem its really Good. It kinda feels like I can relate, even though that I have never had to do anything like that, and don't plan on it
War is a very hard thing, even to think about as a 18 year old guy. Nothing I really want to do, unless its a last ditch effort if the rest of my plans don't work out.
What a deeply moving account... you take us all there to that place of death and sorrow... lifeless bodies strewn around... dreams but dust for them... and no one to care. A poignant glimpse at the battlefields that still fill our world with bodies... once lives of hopes and aspirations.
A very quiet but yet strong anti - war statement based on your war experiences. One can feel the waste and hopelessness of death as a result of war. I can also feel how the experience moved you emotionally and spiritually as you are faced with the cold hard facts of war. WELL DONE AGAIN, a story said in a poem.
I ca not imagine the emotional horrors inflicted upon soldiers at war... we see them as heroes which they are but they are human beings as well, though the Government treats them like statistics.
A Poet and writer who love to read and write.
My pleasure is reading about the bad and good in a life.
Also to honor the Poets/Writers of the past by reading their words.
Remember .. more..
