The War Came Home

To be described upon request.

Strapped to a rocket, 
Speculating the flight of angels. 
The heavenly feeling starts when he falls 
And takes a thousand down. 
His sons will see him, immortal, 
Name written in lights through their window. 
Tears of joy will fall from the lover's face 
As he comes to take them home.

I like the sound and feel of this J. The meaning is opaque but the joy is seeking our own. I wont embarrass myself by exposing my own interpretation but I'd be interested to hear your own concept.
Have a great new year.

I'm more interested in your views. That is the purpose of most of my writing with poems. I try to create images and emotions to the reader that open up their own imagination on to my template. For me i viewed a man sworn to accomplish his duties as justice towards his country his god and his family. He feels no remorse for those he has defeated in his attack. Instead he views himself a hero, a beloved. He fears not his own death in the process of committing murder in what he views as justice. Of course the reason for this piece is to evoke a much wider plane. One viewed by the reader. Thanks so much for your review. Stay safe

Thanks. My first thought was of the 9.11 bombers but I know that can be a sensitive topic for many.
Cheers.

Yeah that's relevant. It is a sensitive subject and it's not one glorifying them it is about a person so far gone that the have glorified it. It's a view into the mind and heart of a radical. It humanizes them tho and some people would rather think them as monsters than human, but any who thinks that is fooling themselves.

in my eyes, to them, would be love more than pride

I appreciate that. Sometimes, depending on the Inquisitor, an explanation does not help. Thanks again.
