I didn't really like this poem. I thought it seemed repetitive. Why did he say the same thing over and over? I thought that it was also really gloomy; it made me feel really bummed out for a little while. I also think that this poem really captured the feelings of the families who had relatives in war back in the day, also now with people over in Iraq, when I heard this poem that was the only thing that was going through my head. I wasn't really thinking about the civil war, but the Iraq war and everyone that is fighting in Afghanistan and stuff like that. I don't know anyone who is currently stationed over there, but I think that people who do should really give this song a listen. 1205463343
