Broken Guitar

The Broken Guitar by Richard Greene is a collection of poems about war:MemorialReading the nameof a young man who died in warsaddens us.Yet more the names of thousandsengraved in granite, or marble,their parents’ hopes and dreams interred in stone. All that remains are a few keepsakes,and memories of newborns, toddlers, vulnerable boys,youths becoming men,those now sad memories,and names carved in cold stone.Who wanted those wars?Their leaders of course,but all too often those same young men,and all too oftenthose who mourn for them.
