The 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 marbletheir parents' hopes and dreams interred in stone. All that remains are a few keepsakesand memories of newborns toddlers vulnerable boysyouths becoming menthose now sad memoriesand names carved in cold stone.Who wanted those wars?Their leaders of coursebut all too often those same young menand all too oftenthose who mourn for them.
