I always think to myself
People who lived those years
Their life must have been so difficult

We are so blessed in so many ways born to the new age

I changed the wallpaper on my IPad with the image of my Uncle's grave site. Whispered to myself "I was there" then felt the ideas welling up to my head.

Thanks!

stark poem, nakedly, candidly expressing....that award given posthumously, much like an Academy award, only this is very real...not the movie version...

excellent and compelling in so few lines.
