War Pigs

Every headline in the papers read...WAR!

Every member from the government said... MORE!

Every mother crying in her bed...IMPLORE!

Every soldier lying stone cold dead...WHAT FOR?

Dear Randy, a potent pithy commentary! Your powerful rhyming brevity is impactful with emotive and evocative imagery that leaves room to explore deep emotions felt between the lines. Warmest wishes my poet friend.. ~Susan

Hi Susan, how have you been Darlin'? As always, I really appreciate such positive feedback. I need to get out from in front of my TV and read more poetry. Most people these days are addicted to their phones. Not me, my television still controls me. Especially during the playoffs. Thanks again friend.
