You

This is packed full of emotion, Beeme. An excellent write. Just a wee typo in the tenth line, should be, 'tanned boy'.

Liked these lines in particular:-

"You drew the short straw,
tucked away pride in your back pocket."

Much enjoyed.

Thankyou Tina, changed 'taned'to 'tanned. I'm happy you enjoyed :-)

'You heard on the BBC news that this wasn't
your war
and turned back to check;
as the boy tumbled under the weight of the rocks
crying for a hero.'

- loved the final few lines Beeme! They really are packed full of emotion!

'You drew the short straw,
tucked away pride in your back pocket.
You took your gun as an extension of
your courage and fought with that.'

Beautiful! Just wonderful. I really enjoyed reading this and the lines I quoted are absolutely amazing. Well done!
