That is indeed our hope, and you've captured it so accurately. It would be so wonderful to see people everywhere freed from their bonds, and peacefully coexisting.

Comment from sandy montgomery
My father in law was a veteran of WWll. This has a nice flow. I especially liked
"From Pearl to Iwo steady, slow,
we fought our way toward Tokyo
and with those two atomic blasts,
this tragic war would end, at last. "
I also loved your refrain. Thank you for sharing your work.

Comment from Jynx123
In my humble opinion, this is a well written poem that speaks volumes without the use of a lot of words. I always find that tough to do so I think this is really good in that regard, and as well, in regard to the topic and a unique take on something that can sometimes be a touchy subject.

Comment from Marykelly
No one has a more legitimate claim for peace before death than the veteran of WWII. After such monumental effort and loss, it must be distressing to see the pattern of hatred, power grabbing, and destruction repeat itself, even on a smaller scale. I hope your wish comes true.

Comment from humpwhistle
I know how heavy the burden must feel.
To have fought -- yet one or another war rages on.
To come home, when so many were lost.
It must feel they've all been betrayed
because the peace so sorely won,
has not lasted.
Before I go, too.
Peace, Lee

Comment from Dean Kuch
Excellent message here, jaybird1, and as a veteran of Uncle Sam's United States Marine Corps I couldn't agree with you more.
War is horrible, but a necessary evil sometimes perpetrated for the greater good of all.
Young men (and now women too) die fighting for a common cause under the banner of freedom.
Kudos to you for this stellar poem and for your service to your country and your duty.
God bless...
