Maid of iron

Sometimes it's best to say nothing.

I like this. (It's under story -pop it under poem? for the poets, and eds, and people like me without their glasses for prose?!)

Yes we do mourn that which is gone. Good one Kev.

I should have said, but didn't..... that I agreed with your feelings but my own comment of better to say nothing at all. I now understand I must have sounded as if I was expressing the feeling that YOU Kev shouldn't have expressed yourself as you clearly did. In fact my own statement of not saying anything at all was just that I felt that there was nothing more that I could add without expressing my own anger towards someone who did so much damage to a infrastructure/system that worked and which can never be replaced. The right to express yourself is essential; I feel privileged to live in a country where we have free speech. I realise my own statement was open to misinterpretation, my own fault, that if I wasn't prepared or had the confidence to say what I felt then I should have said nothing at all. Sorry Kev

There have been a lot of poems posted on this theme and this is the best one that I have read. I am so glad that this got picked.
