Innocence with Blood

A howitzer does not shoot flowers Missiles are designed to kill A battlefield’s not for tender hearts Innocence with blood is spilled

Wonderfully penned! Your intelligence shines here. Life and death are real issues! These days, as you know all too well….Simchat Torah, 2023! Battlefieds are unecessary . Streets in all countries …daily run with blood of children and adults. Violence rules the day. At least, you have the courage to address death! Amazing… and a Favorite! Bas Noach, Panagiota

I mean that… to come here and write of life as painfree is living in denial. Writing as way youdid, it’s pretty unusual here. I know there’s a few other men who do that and have the courage to do so.. that moves me. Having “character “is very important to me.. Blame that on my Father, Edward, of blessed memory! bas Noach~ Pangie

Thank you for the fave, dear friend. Though I personally have never viewed writing a poem as 'courageous.' Let people think what they may, I'll write what I say! ~ gw
