Notes About The Poem

" FALLEN COMRADES-IN-ARMS " FROM MY ROOF GARDEN, MY PHOTO, ©

Fallen Comrades-In-Arms

Yes,

we lived and 

we fought against each other thus enemies on 

the battlefield of hate we died

but 

death has us united and brothers out of us

has made!



No,
 
my loving brother, 

enemies we were never born but made

by 

all those who had the most to gain!

* Written after watching a memorial service at which former
enemies met to honor their fallen comrades-in-arms!

Tom Cunningham August 10, 2018 at 2:07 AM You wonder how it came to that, ordinary people like you and me enemies on the battlefield, politicians and war mongers have a lot to account for. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis August 10, 2018 at 3:08 AM After so many decades on the earth plane I do not wonder anymore my friend, Tom for , as Einstein has said, the stupidity of Man, is infinite! Pity we realise it only after people die! Thank you my friend!
