They're Dead
by Nan Jacobs
copyright 03-26-2002


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 

For those the world over who have lost and will lose someone to war and its repercussions


For you, for me, for liberty?
It doesn't matter, they're dead.
For sacred Islam purity?
It doesn't matter, they're dead.
The soldier son, the gentle one,
It doesn't matter, he's dead.
The newborn girl, her papa's pearl,
It doesn't matter, she's dead.
For all the possibilities...
It doesn't matter, they're dead.

Nan, this was excellent...profound. Death is a common factor in everyone's life...sooner or later, it doesn't matter, you're dead! Great read! Bunny

"A poem begins with a lump in the throat." Robert Frost

This one ends in like manner. It pains me to say 'good job', Nan, considering the subject. Unfortunately, it's all too true.


03-26-2002 Esther Spurrill    

Yeah, Treena said it. I have nothing more to add.


03-26-2002 Treena Turner    

Says it all in very little words with more impact than an earthquake...:)
