Poetry presents the thing in order to convey the feeling.
It should be precise about the thing and reticent about the feeling. This poem is a very violent and angry poem that I wrote at a time when I felt that same way. I have never shown this to the people that I was writing about because they were just my emotions at the time, so please don't be insulted or angered by the poem, if you do see yourself in it. Brothers till the End I watched your face, Engage in a war, The torn remains of a friend Shone through in spurts As you pledged allegiance, To a different flag. I saw emotion, trying to break through, but you stood, like a good dog and showed no battle scars.
