Great poem. Such a pivotal moment in history. I like what you’ve done here giving the progression of time in snippets between slashes. The final one cuts.
Thank you for your feedback. I feel like I have so much to say on this topic, but needed to detach from it in my first draft. The final one really does cut. I’ll be fighting along with everyone else! Sending love and positive vibes.
