AMONG THE NATIONS poem
by Richard L. Provencher Among the Nations No stone throwing boys will die tonight in the war of Middle East feet tucked beside brothers and sisters, in love with their country. The day spent scurrying door to archway enemy tanks soldiers In battle gear the thwack of helicopter gun-ships guns bombs and rockets like expectant rainfall. Some were heroes and death the reward children a reflection of life's serenity. Wrapped in widows and fear wisdom abandons the battleground. 2009 Richard L. Provencher All Rights Reserved Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel.
