A Savage God

dedicated to two American journalists

words can never

be destroyed

your voices will remain

your pictures eternal

we of good faith

will be one and

those who need

a savage God

will be alone

at the end.

Is it God that is savage or the devil. Heaven is waiting when we believe. Valentine

[Black Cat Fever]

So true. It is a savage god that advocates this sort of barbaric behavior.
And what does it say about people who follow it?.......
Nicely done.

[Coyote Song]

I agree with what you say here. Very well done. I, too, think this is a grand and important poem,
and I to think it comes straight from the heart.

[Star Wolf]

This is a lot of a poem. Awesome piece.
Fantastic tribute poem tho those who lost their lives just doing their jobs.

[Lyn Anderson]

But how can you say this is not much of a poem? A great piece as always.:)

[Wolf's Dark Song]

A fantastic tribute poem to two who lost their lives doing nothing wrong.
It would take belief in savage god to justify such barbaric behavior in this day and age.

[Tina Kline]

A very powerful and emotional poem.
A heartfelt tribute to those who lost their lives.
I think it is a great poem, one straight from the heart.

I am with you on this....

we of good faith
will be one

You did right by penning your thoughts. I have been extremely traumatized for the past few days, by this brutality...your words have strengthened me and given me hope...I am feeling much better after reading this tribute to the two lost lives. Thank you so much.

A worthy and excellent tribute. The manner of their murders was shocking enough, but the fact that these were the last of a dying breed was tragic. The poignancy of your write, its simple (yet not simplistic) development of the theme and its sad warning were perfect in every respect.
