I can imagine that would be horrible for all of nature as well as for all of mankind to be in a war zone. Thanks for sharing your thought with us and I hope you are not in the war zone. Sara K

Wow, GW, so much power in so few words, you've conveyed so much here as I sit having coffee amid what's going on in the rest of the world! Such a poetically intense poem you have crafted, excellent!
