sorry, i can't quite believe the amount of people who asked whether you were being sarcastic or not...also, i do not think you use the term military dictatorship falsely/wrongly. there was one case in which a soldier who refused to go back and serve in Iraq after having been refused the right of therapy after seeing, well that doesn't matter, but anyway, the soldier was actually court-martialled because he was suffering from depression and such and wanted to be able to have some help. my point seems to have been a little lost, never mind. anyway, great poem.

If this is meant as sarcassim its a good poem. However if it isn't, I believe your message is a little weak pointed. I believe the points made in this poem reflect the bitter side of war and how it really is wrong. (case mentioned Iraq) How someone can send people off to war without a thought is awful to me, but whatever the true message I do like this poem.

Incredible poem. Utterly utterly true.

Best political poem I've ever read.
*claps*

This was very good. Talking about sending soliders to their death. But I think you misused the word dictatorship.

It is easy to sit behind a desk and yell out orders and sign papers to invade countries and tear other people's life apart, but what about the people who risk their lives under fire, the mourning mothers (like you mentioned), the children that are left father-less? I love the way that you captured that with sarcasm. Well done.

Is this sarcasm or really how you feel?
