The first person style makes this an altogether piercing piece Stephen. Difficult to say more!

Thank you for kind comments, Greg and Keith, and to Kevin for liking.

A tragic moment like this somehow crystallises the madness and senselessness of war. Whatever the wider political considerations, it has to stop soon.

This poem encapsulates the horror and senselessness of war. Well composed. Raw in content. A very good poem to make the reader sit up. Thank you for this,
Keith
