A STORY OR POEM SOME TIMES

Some times , tells of what is true

It they should be so

Romance , a writer can not say

When writing of life as it truly is

An American widow was asked:

'' What do miss most of your husband? ''

She became quiet , as she though about the Question

'' I miss the smell of his sweet , his dirty work where hanging behind the door ''

Not the most romantic , of memory's , one may think

Of war , a writer , may not write of bravery , derring-do romanticizing battle

And all things war , many do affter all , yes make war sexy! pornographic

Violence

Or the writer writes of war and it's battle's as it is

Blood and gore , maiming , of the body and mind

Not of great bravery , but of survival , not cowardice

Put a badly wounded comrade , pout his misery and pain

BUT to insure , due to crying out , brings attention , make the enemy

A where , give away the position of those still alive

The truth of life , has writ , can be upsetting , thats life!

I'm understanding that every angle is important... and sometimes it's upsetting. Can't just ignore it because it's upsetting. *hugs* xx

Writings about war or war time memories are always upsetting.
