I thought this was a very thought provoking poem. It adreses most of the questions that follow war including wether or not it is justified and also asks who it is who persues battle and conflict. It also does not make the common decession of looking at enemy fighters in a dark light but rather shows them in a more human light,questioning what life they once might have led. A very good poem.

Author's Response: Well, thanks alot, nice to see people remember me somewhat. I dont dig writing poetry too much, but this effort seemed to come out nicly. You do good work too, and am alittle ashamed to say I kind of forgot about you until you wrote this in. Well, thanks anyways very much for the review!

I liked this on alot. It is true, you know. That's always been my thoughts of killing or suicide. As I see it, when someone dies, someone mourns.

Author's Response: Yah, I kind of got inspired by this one book I read, Shadow of the Hedgemon. After the main character killed the bad guy, he made a funeral for him and gave respects. Thanks for your opinion and review!

I do get around - eh? Anyway, good bit a poetry. I've always been a fen of semi-angsty stuff like this. You did a very good job of it. - Atchika

Author's Response: Lol, thanks for the review!
