! No-One Comes Back From War. Poem by Michael Shepherd

! No-One Comes Back From War.



no-one comes back from war

not the victors

not the vanquished

not the dead

not the living

just faces

with memories

no-one comes back from war

they come back

as someone else

to somewhere else

no-one comes back from war

why did they not tell us that

A stirring, eloquent, truthful write. You are obviously a danger to the Empire. Who isn't? Don't answer that. It's a trick question. I love this poem. - Will

I guess it would depend on what your occupation was; and where you were during the 'war'.
