Nicely stated message to those that follow us, but in following they are already behind the learning curve and are doomed to repeat. I vote for the last line because we don't seem to learn from history or we fail to believe the clues we are left with. Thanks for sharing.

Deepwater, a very good poem to add to your book. I loved the visual image and language used throughout the entire piece. I can see why you've earned your Recognized and All Time Best status for this poem.

Deepwater
I enjoyed reading this piece, and the title is evokes a strong impression, but they do not quite connect together. Perhaps something like sacrifice or legacy would fit better than soul.

DW,
Nice free flowing poem honoring the veterans of all wars. Yes, as long there are governments, I am afraid we will always have wars over pointless matters and young men and women will give their lives. Nice poem.

Comment from Nerdette
This has a very powerful and meaningful message. I know that I love studying history, the events, the people, because it really is not an insight to the path, but a way that we can predict our own future. We can choose to correct our mistakes, or we will yet again see what we didn't learn from. And it is always so unfortunate when we don't learn from our mistakes, because then we have given up the lives of not only soldiers, but fathers, husbands, brothers, sons, wives, mothers, daughters, and so on...all in vain.
I just reccomend being consistent with the commas. Since you already have the lines broken up and separated, I don't think you need them at all, except for maybe in the middle of a sentence. That's all.
Great writing!

Comment from NadiaScrieva
This makes me wonder about whether it really is necessary for soldiers to "die for freedom." Humans seem to be the only crazy creatures who make these sacrifices and call them honourable.
I'd rather be an ant.
Best,
Nadia

Comment from Kaladore
I think this is an excellent poem with a solid theme throughout. I like the questions you leave us with at the end and the observation that history tends to repeat itself. Great job!
