War Costs

Gray clouds on blue sky
War traumas never do heal
The sun always shines.

Hi, NeverEndingStory,
Those of us who do not know war first-hand can never truly understand. But, through our own pains, we can try. Thank you for your comment.

Hey Massachusetts, I love the pithy way you chose to get message accross, and yes, we know it is far more difficult to be pithy than verbose, well done! Also thank you for having the courage to bring this to people's attention, as a veteran of South Africa's wars, I can relate 100%, even though, I elected to be a non-combatant. In fact, I would venture to say, I still have to viciously control my hostility toward everyday events, thanks to war-trauma...

And goes on and on

Life is a life
Death is death
Maimed and limbless
Maimed and mindless
Civillians and soldiers
At the mercy of governments
Sadness and bravery I SALUTE YOU ALL
The not learning from history certainly GALLS

Hi, Redex,
Thank you for your profound words. And, The not learning from history certainly GALLS is so sadly true!
