War disrupts the lives of so many people--the boys and men who fight them and the loved ones back home. Mankind needs to find a way to solve problems peacefully. I get tired of hearing the current apology for war claiming how it creates ''bands of brothers'' whose lives are bound by danger. Hey, it doesn't take a war to develop strong friendships and brotherhood. The same bonds could be made by banding together to fight world hunger or helping homeless people. It's a shame that organizations like the Peace Corp don't attract more young people than they do.

You sum it all up so well. The landscape still torn and the plants growing, probably with the help of human fertilizer. So sad.

What a great anti-war poem! So graphic and raw, as war needs to be seen. Has there ever been a good war? I think not. There have been evil people and genocide in many places, led by a few bad men.

And so came the end of nievatyty
The belivey in '' our betters '' knowing what is best
Nievaty of blinded trust
The end olf nieive romance of war
Nive beleve of God king and empier god to die for!
The death of romatik poetry - birth of realaty poetey- poets
The world reborn in blood and death
World war one - leading to world two - a new realaty
World war one never relly endid
Leading dirirectly - indirectly to the blood and desath in wars Great and small - 1918 lead to what we injure this day to to what will be tomorrow and after - never ending
