The bravest Men I Know

by kacy   Dec 17, 2007


The Bravest Men I Know
I have touched
hugged
and laughed

The Bravest Men I Know
Have set their feet in foreign land
So that you and I can live a life so grand

Bullets pouring down
Piercing the ground all around
Barely missing
Barely living

The Bravest Men I Know
Left secruity to stand on the line
Smoked filled skys
And bloody grounds
Praying to God to hear just a few more sounds

    Such an amazing poem. It's so honest and so pure. This stanza is a bit confusing:

    "The Bravest Men I Know
    I have touched
    hugged
    and laughed"

    Maybe you could say laughed with.. But I think if you clear that up it will make the whole poem flow better.

    What also confused me was the capitalization of the line "The Bravest Men I Know". I don't know if it was just a subconsious kind of thing or if you did it to make the line stand out more..

    But other than that the poem was great. Good job and keep up the great work. 5/5 from me.
