Forgotten Heroes – A Tanka

Forgotten heroes

Until violence erupts

Lives forever changed

Sad that it takes tragedy

For us to remember them

      It try. I saw a small blurb at the bottom of CNNs screen saying that several American service members and U.S. contractors were killed by a suicide bomber. Beyond that there was very little coverage of the incident. This kind of thing disgusts me, maybe because my son is in the Army it makes am more sensitive to this. Thanks Charles.

        You’re welcome. It seems the media no longer wants to bother with those incidents. Not sure why. It isn’t like they’re trying to protect us from bad news.

        I guess that it isn’t sensational enough.
