Shout aloud!

I stood before a cold gray field
I swore I heard them cry
Tell the truth about the war
Or millions more people will die,

You must shout aloud!
Staying silent no one will hear
Let them know war is wrong
Tell them there is nothing to fear,


Raise your voices if you will
Or they will go to certain death
I never heard the final shot
Don’t stay silent be my breath,

When all is dead or dieing
you will remember what I have said
Speak now and end the suffering
Before humanity is shot in the head,

Annie

Yo dear Annie,

The thoughts expressed in this lovely poem are right on target.

I certainly agree with you, Annie.  War is decidedly wrong!  Yes, shout out loud but so many have deaf ears unfortunately.  I wish it wasn't so.

Your so right Helen, I am afraid they are sadly

And thank you Bobby it seems I write better when it's about death
