Description: this poem was based on the war we are going through. and i wounder why they die
is there a meaning of it all and why are we doing this why most we fight why we need to live peacefully.
very emotional and deep. you portray innocence in a way, with this...an innocent young soldier slain at the peak of youth and for what? why? a question to which there will never be a real answer.
This paints a picture to me, of a boy/girl coming out of the wood onto a old blood soaked battle field(a gettysburg), where only one opponent remains, tired and broken from hours of conflict. The old soldier has lost everything that ever meant something to him. He is an alcholic, a tramp, and unwanted the man kneels down and silts his throat, or falls on the blade. Saving what he had left. his honor. Not a pretty scene. An probably a wrong interperation. I did like the use of -ight, reminded me of my poem Alright. Thanks for posting.
