[title] => Was My Death In Vain?

[hometext] => Our boys are dying in Iraq and it is pointless. Please comment whether good or bad.
[bodytext] => I was sniped in the head, was my death in vain? Is there any reason that I went through that pain? I see the replay over and over in my head, Trying to comprehend that I really am dead. I was just riding in a hummer through a cloud of dust, Then I heard BOOM as Charlie shot through the truck. The bullet struck me and lodged in my brain. My friends rushed me to the nearest plane. Immediately I was flown to Washington D.C. Where nurses and doctors looked after me. I laid in that bed for a total of two weeks Until I heard the heart machine stop its beeps. Everything was silent, and then turned black As I lay motionless on my back. I heard the doctor say, “I’m sorry Mrs. Smith he’s gone. He’s left this world and has went home.” I heard my mother as the tears rolled down her face “I hope he’s at least in a better place.” The question is “What did I die for?” What’s the real point in fighting this war? I wonder if it’s really making Bush glad To know that he is killing Americans to impress his dad. I’d like to see him strap up and go fight. I bet he wouldn’t last one night. But instead he’s allowing the killing of my friends. When is this stupid thing ever going to end? There is no reason we should be going through this pain Maybe someone else will realize that my death was in vain. IN LOVING MEMORY OF MICHAEL A. SMITH. Rest In Peace man. I’ll meet up with you one day.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
