Peace
At last, sirens called,
Lured men.
Bridges built
Burned
To the ground,
Praying
Kneeling,
Need-less
Wars

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.

This is so powerful and so accurate for the times we live in. Great writing as always.
Another powerful piece from you! It reads so well forwards and in reverse!
