I have seen the devastation and contemplation
of our nation
I have heard the pain, for the gain
of our nation
I have touched the dead, and the tears they shed
of our nation
I have smelt the lead, the sulphur bed
of our nation
I have tasted the hate, and the want to eliminate
of our nation
long belts lash upon all of our faces
ETERNALLY SCARRED

Adam, through this poem I can feel your pain and shame. I particularly like the last line--a strong visual and tactile image. Ouch!
Mrs. K.
Truely something different. ... thanks for sharing
Adam, This is so profound. Simple yet powerful. Thank you for sharing it.
