RE: A Journey to the Gory Years of the Nigerian Civil War - A Brief Analysis of J.P Clark's The Casualties

in #poetry • 6 years ago

Excellent poem, given the subject matter. His visceral comments about "the casualties" struck me from the start.

It's so true that the survivors are to be included among the casualties. Anyone who knows anyone else who's survived a war will realize that, and, clearly, the survivors know only too well.

Thanks for posting. War will come again, all too soon, and many of us living today will become casualties.

Peace.

    I am delighted to find that you found the poem worthwhile and captivating. Indeed, The Casualties is a great poem that speaks to all of us one way or the other. I wish the world leaders would realize that there is never a complete victory in war - something, no matter how little, will be destroyed and sacrificed.

    I do not understand what you meant when you wrote:

    War will come again, all too soon, and many of us living today will become casualties.

    Thanks for stopping by.
