Hello my friend,
A powerful piece of writing... Your author notes are packed full of info to help the reader understand the message behind the write. In my humble opinion terrorism has been around since the beginning of time and there will be no way to stop them until their people no longer want to die... Thanks for sharing my friend....

I enjoyed this poem and I think that the author notes add well to the piece, it is also presented very well although I am not sure what the picture is...
take care,
love Jen

    I choose the poem for two reason, its Gargoyl like nature and its mosiac like appearance. Thank you very much for your compliments and review.

Mike K2, you have a real talent for taking news stories and turning them into good poems. Not everybody can do that. Then you take the time to give people the history for those of us who wouldn't have a clue what you were discussing otherwise. Thanks. This is anothe good piece of writing by you.

I read this piece on political issues, but I see is not a political issues but a human issue. I enjoy writtings inspired in our philosophies and passions. They deserve my greatest respect.

    Thank you very much for your compliments and this review. I really don't see a way to eliment the politics involved, but they must be fairly low in the priorities.

What do you consider Israel to be then? That statement was a littlte ridiculous to me, and I am Jewish. I actually think the authors notes are too long and detract fron the poem. I would resiste the temptation to be understood, and let the poem do the talking instead of your authors notes. Which I did not think accurate. It is just your opinion, and nothing else.

The poem is good, i enjoyed it. I think it should stand alone. I noticed nothing jarring about the work and would recommend it to other readers for review, cheers, Abby

Israel is a Jewish run State.

You had quite a lot to say here Mike, and you stated it very well. Once again I appreciated the explanation in the author's notes for the full picture on your thought process when writing the poem. Want to run for president? I think this election is lacking in a candidate that will make an honest stand, for anything. Thanks for sharing.

Mike, well written but whose perspective is the poem from?

You had an easy rhythm and used good descriptive words and phrases. Your notes are interesting. :)
