There's something eminently pathetic in a pigeon defaced statue--I prefer the plaques and names method, where each individual is accorded some individuality and dignity.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-18755943027309932732012-02-26T06:20:38.126-08:002012-02-26T06:20:38.126-08:00Very nice share...but it makes me angry when we do...Very nice share...but it makes me angry when we don't appreciate their blood and tears.<br /><br />Moving and heart felt~<br /><br />My share: <br /><br />http://a-sweetlust.blogspot.com/2012/02/walking-around.htmlScarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330793338813508704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-31717849534184648002012-02-26T01:31:09.369-08:002012-02-26T01:31:09.369-08:00Perfect transcription from stone to word.

Your choice of subject, the way you wove in the god of war, and the banality of the description of the current state of the statues is effective and leaves me with a feeling of sadness at so much loss.Victoriahttp://liv2write2day.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-23203254195367406062012-02-25T17:47:09.304-08:002012-02-25T17:47:09.304-08:00Just now, moments after reading your piece on war&...Just now, moments after reading your piece on war's false pride, i read this from Mark.

The edginess gives it more power.
