    History
    Anger, Truth
    Bitterness, and Hate

    Honor, Goodness
    The Defeated, The Great

    Revenge, Espionage
    Liberty and Death

    Victory, Battles
    Wars, Last Breath

    Children, Adults
    Conquerers, Mass Graves

    Bloodshed, Defeat
    Attrocities, People Saved

    Teachers, Leaders
    Hero's and the Insane

    Mad Men, Monsters
    Liberators all fighting in vain

    D.B. Johnson

    WOW, great poem. I usually have a lot to say, to edit, but very little here. There are only two words that trip me up as I read this poem; trip me up from the standpoint of the tempo. The first word is "battles" or it could be the word "wars" that I stumble on; and the second word is "attrocities". Great title too--too many times we forget that the title is actually part of the poem.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
