I just finished reading Romeo Dallaire's book about the post traumatic stress he has suffered since his peacekeeping mission during the Rwanda massacre, when the UN ignored his pleas for help and he witnessed unimaginable horrors and was unable to stop it. He is wracked with guilt yet he could not have done more than he did, he saved many thousands as it was. The world, at large, did not seem to share the horror or the guilt. I havent written anything yet, but something may come......

I hope you'll except it as an antiwar poem, too, though it deals with child's play. I love also Adrian Mitchell's approach. The poem is new to me. I see a great need to convert war jobs into peace ones. My favorite quote above is MLK's ". . .
