Good....

...job on a subject where it would be very easy to sound like nothing more than a schoolboy who suddenly thinks he discovered profound thought. You keep that in check and speak with maturity and real human emotion without dipping into cliche or sophmoric fervor.

depends how it ends and who writes history who the villain is. I'm not supportive of your subject matter, and I don't think it was well written. It feels like a lecture instead of a drawing of the reader into your emotion. It makes me feel defensive and angry. I think possibly we don't share the same views on politics. Either that, or I've sorely misunderstood you.

I think

that the subject matter is controversial but everyone should have some opinion and the courage to speak without fear of ridicule. I saw this on the passion thread and was hoping you would submit it. I was just curious to see the reactions you might get. I posted one like this a while back and received very mixed and some outright angry FB.

I did enjoy this poem, although some of the points youve made are sad and disturbing and probably much too true to be ignored or brushed off. I hope you are a registered voter :D

Strong opinions, a bit didactic

With conclusions offered as fact;

May disagree but one fact remains

We must forever be ever vigilant.

Who was it who said, "Eternal vigilance is the price of peace." Very timely piece.
