I remain a friend and fan. This was deep. As for me, the war is in the mind. No one sees. No one really cares. The world goes by and the war goes on and the people do not care.

I am reminded of the words to a song that I heard a long time ago.

"People stop and stare. I can't see their faces, only the echoes of their mind. People stop and stare. I can't see their faces, only the shadows of their minds. " Sorry, I had a moment there. take care, friend.

wow, thats really deep and powerful. very well written. i usually prefer poems that rhyme but this is an exception. I especially like the 7th verse/paragraph thngy, and i liek this line too, "Holding out the world, holding in the words" :D
