Comment from Dom G Robles
I like the poem from beginning to end, "The Soul of a Soldier." The author had described in what he thinks about the soldiers deeds--I like most the part where he said, "In time our children shall come to understand when and how our fate was changed by the hand of mankind.... "There is something here that is being anticipated which our future children and history will see as different...--if I undertstand it correctly..which maybe true or a subject of speculation...

Comment from Ann Smith
The voices from the grave are haunting but especially when those voices are the voices of fallen soldiers. It is our responsibility to see that they did not die in vain. Have we learned from the past? I don't believe so. The questions you ask should be carefully answered. ann

Comment from MAMONIA
There is not enough to be said on this subject.
Our soldiers, our veterans, our injured and those
killed have to be remembered more than twice a year
on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Our hearts need to be reminded of what these people
have done and sacrificed in the name of peace. God
help all of us who have a child or loved one in the
service. My prayers are with you. Solid job here.

Comment from nucciwriter21
The only thing I would suggest is that you put a few punctuation marks to separate ideas.
For example:Can we rest from the toils of battle at peace,with the understanding that history will show the distinguished who have fallen will live on in the hearts and actions of men who remember the injustice from their past or will fall victim to events we ignored....this is a run on sentence. Perhaps break it up. It would nor only read better but it would also make more of a statement.
Other then this I thought the poem was great and that your ideas are right on. Your reflections on the soldier and the interactions of other people make quite a statement. Great job!

Comment from Frank Fathom
This is a wonderfully written piece. It tells a patriotic tale of those who gave their lives for freedom. It is my hope that one day men and women will be able to live together in peace and respect each other's values and beliefs. Until we learn how to do this we should honor those who die for peace. Good Job! FF

Comment from Bellringer
Good poem of fallen heroes...I can empathize because my son is a Marine Captain. It would have helped to break up the poem into shorter stanzas foe effect and ease of reading. For example:
here we sleep...in death
unbetrayed but honored in name
so for you of little faith and
governing powers can keep...that peace

"Here we sleep in death" Wow that is a very powerful five statement and a great start to your strong message. Thank you for putting them together. My Dad was in WWII and i have been taking some notes of his experiences and your poem hits on some emotional reality our men and women go through in the name of peace.
well done thank you for sharing

Liked these so-very-wise lines: history will show the distinguished who have fallen will live on in the hearts and actions of men who remember the injustice from their past or will fall victim to events we ignored.
Yes, an important message!
