amazing! My Dad is currently in Iraq, and this toatlly sounds like the circumstnces he's been describing to us.

This was a pretty good poem, almostinsane. You wouldn't happen to be the same almostinsane from Avatar Spirit, would you?

I will admit, I almost cried when I read this. Great poem!

Great poem.You see war from the soldier's eye's. nice.

If you wrote it by yourself, yr a poetry...

hm, pretty good. I could tell it came from the heart.

...
COOL!

tis was nice. ^^

Wow. I have to say I felt it was a little off. I know battles are bloody and wrong, but one of those soldiers out there on the field is fighting /for/ the Lord! And he may be closer to God than any of us are here and safe. I don't think that God frowns upon war for a noble cause. To protect others. I think he frowns upon pointless bloodshed. I just wanted to say not to demote the soldiers. I don't think God's children have fallen into hate. I don't think the devil's laughing.

Aw that was so heartfelt...i mean its human nature for us to sin and destroy the temples of God (our own bodies) but He still forgives...thats why He's such a merciful God...amen!

I cannot describe what I feel about this poem in words. All I can say is that it sums up everything so well. Wonderful job, and God Bless.

that's true, God forgives everything and everybody, nice poem by the way,

Strong message--a messabe that I've seen a million times but still, a powerful, haunting, message.

I like the diction; I think your sparce use of words--how nothing really emulated the Biblical until the end, or by using words that make something sound bigger than it is--it is refreshing.

BUT I think the lines "soldier vs. soldier" and "american vs. terrorist" detract greatly from the poem; they seem meshed in there for no apparent reason.

All in all it is a good poem; not the best, nor the worse.
