Quietly, softly he placed the flowers
Upon the ground

Stepping back he stands
At attention, disciplined, rigid

The salute snaps
Prefect

The tear slips down his face
Lost in the rain

Unnoticed, forgotten
Like the soul-dier before him

Once called
Friend

Father...Brother
Lover...Mother

Now...
Causality

Did you write that?

It's beautiful.

Thanks :)

Yeah I wrote it for a poetry community that I take part in. I am trying to flex my creative muscles. I was never very good at poetry so I thought that it would be a good place to start.

As much as I disagree with the war in Iraq, I think that many people lose track of the human face(s) that are effected.
