https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn "War does not determine who is right- only who is left." - Bertrand Russell en-us 2018-11-13 13:58:31 UTC 2025-11-18 06:37:45 UTC hello@padlet.com zacharygood https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/303735129 Out there, we've walked quite friendly up to Death,-
Sat down and eaten with him, cool and bland,-
Pardoned his spilling mess-tins in our hand.
We've sniffed the green thick odour of his breath,-
Our eyes wept, but our courage didn't writhe.
He's spat at us with bullets and he's coughed
Shrapnel. We chorussed when he sang aloft,
We whistled while he shaved us with his scythe.

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed, -knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags. ]]> 2018-11-13 14:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/303735129 zacharygood https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/303741500 "The Next War"

The theme of the poem is that in war soldiers fight with and against death. I included this poem because it shows that soldiers, in war, are close to death. This poem appeals to me because I have always liked war themed items. All of the poems show that war is difficult and hard to go through. ]]> 2018-11-13 14:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/303741500 zacharygood https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/303746924 I chose this picture because it shows that death is always in control. ]]> 2018-11-13 14:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/303746924 zacharygood https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/304278644 Thought the treaties may be signed
The memories of the battles
Are forever in our minds

War is never over
So when you welcome heroes home
Remember in their minds they hold
Memories known to them alone

War is never over
Nam veterans know this well
Now other wars bring memories back
Of their own eternal hell

War is never over
For I knew world war two
And I'll not forget the battles
Or the nightmares that ensue

War is never over
Those left home to wait know this
For many still are waiting
It was their farewell kiss

War is never over
Though we win the victory
Still in our minds the battles 
No freedom is not free!

The theme of the poem is that war exists forever in the memories of those who were in it. I included this poem because it talks about the memories of war that soldiers are forced to remember. This poem appeals to me because it talks about the different memories that every different veteran endures. All of these poems talk about What soldiers go through.]]> 2018-11-14 14:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/304279555 zacharygood https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/304302445 I chose this picture because the poem is about PTSD.]]> 2018-11-14 14:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/304302445 zacharygood https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/304306430 War. And war some more.
War. And war some more.
No one knows, 
What it's for, 
War. And war some more.

The images seem
To rule the day, 
War and Generals, 
All the same, 
All the answers, 
Seem so lame, 
All our reason, 
Gone insane.

War. And war some more.
War. And war some more.
No one knows, 
What it's for, 
War. And war some more.]]> 2018-11-14 14:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/304306430 zacharygood https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/304792673 "War Some More"

The theme of the poem is that war never changes. I included this poem because it expresses the uselessness of war. This poem appeals to me because it is good to have peace. All of these poems are about how war is not glorifiable. ]]> 2018-11-15 13:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/304792673 zacharygood https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/304807923 I chose this picture because the battle would have been the same if they were not fighting their brothers. ]]> 2018-11-15 14:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharygood/9vgcvyhg42bn/wish/304807923
