mypenrai's war stories
By wt
30 March 2008
mai pen rai told war stories
that fell on deaf ears
my pen rai told of his pain
and of the missing tears

not for long did my pen write
for longer still I dread the night
when I too would have my sight
on war stories for deaf ears

You must have heard of the old saying about you can take the horse to the water but you can't make it drink. 
 
your last line in this is very good, you should think about doing something with that line "war stories for deaf ears" 
that's a tremendous line my friend. 
 
Thanks wt. 
Bernie
