...give a strong poem a powerful finish. Great work.
(That is Political with capital P) When so many conveniently hide in escapism, and poem for them is still: “your eyes are roses”.
And to mention painful reality is almost as bad as asking “how much do you make”.
So, I thank you for the evocative language. For the sense of senselessness.
Yet, I do not see eye to eye with all that you said. That’s ok though. You spoke your truth. In my war every one remembered “whose blade swung first”. And back today, I think that most do too.
One more thing, I don’t think that there is such a leap between “Sitting in rows” and “Walking in lines”…At least as far as my school days are taken into account.
