Since you always leave such lovely reviews on my works I thought I would review yours in turn. This was a very well written poem. I really liked how you laid it out so that it grabbed the readers attention, the final lines I loved especially "This word:
peace
refuses to join the war." that was just so powerful and really striking. I would have to honestly say that this is one of the best poems I have read on this site, from how it was laid out to how seamlessly it flowed, and the topics it covered so elegantly. Really lovely!

Thank you very much for the very kind comments. My head is all over the place today, writing all over the place. You slowed me down and have me taking a breath! The final 2 lines definitely put it to bed for me. Thank you again for commenting, and I love reading your story. Cheers!

Karen - wouldn't it be neat if all wars were only those of words?
We could drive ourselves silly and learn something in the process.
Oh well, its a thought.

Take care - Dave

hmmmm my theory it is simple not easy but simple to educate a new generation but how many people are going to show them how to unlearn what they learned

[Karen Redburn]

Sorry for missing so many comments. Our daughter is getting married in two weeks and we are overloaded at the moment. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I agree teaching a new generation a different way, would work. I hope we change so much that the school must also change to keep pace.
