FEAR

"
Read about WWII before I went to bed..and I just couldn´t fall asleep, so I wrote this..
"






I look calm
But I´m screaming inside

It is loud
They forced silence to hide

It was beautiful
But all the flowers died

I might look like a soldier with a country to save
But I´m not brave, I´m not brave

I might be standing with my head high
Like I allready forgot and forgave

But I´m really running

Fear is coming
Fear is coming

I was surprised by the power of this piece, so simple and yet the first 3 stanzas especially moved me. I'm glad our generation doesn't have to worry so much about war, at least in Norway and Canada. However, we have a duty to remember history and understand both war and love, to really understand reality and the human condition.

I completely agree with you.. it´s important to remember what earlier generations went through for us.. Glad you liked the poem, thankyou for letting me enter it :)

As someone who's delved quite deeply into WWII, I had high expectations and this did not disappoint. Great job! I saw a movie called 'Stalingrad' quite recently( It's based on the Battle of Stalingrad) and you captured the soldier's emotions perfectly. You should watch it if you get the time, I think you'll like it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece! :)

[Johanna]

I do that too! in my freetime which people find strange.. but it´s an intense interesting time period. Glad you liked the poem! this one means quite a lot to me :) Yes I know the battle, one of the bloodiest of all time with 850 000 germans dead and almost two million russians! :(( so sad. will see if I find the book..

[Devesh]

Exactly! People find it really strange but it really is so interesting! I loved it! :) Yes, it is sad, but then again, what about the war isn't? :(

[Saddam]

fear is our enemy and sin, try to get rid about it. very nice you described your fear...
World war was a nightmare which we don't want to see.
