PoetKitty...
did your know the author of that poem died in action in WWI? Puts a very serious light on his work.

He’s hung around my neck like that.
He’s not going to choke me, though. No way.

interesting
A valid POV for sure, but do you really think our current President is ranks the same as the men in his shadows? I feel we're far worse off now than four years ago - so while they are ornaments in so many ways, this puppet master is an evil-doer, to use his phrase - I want a new ornament, dammit.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comments on the nobilty of death for another. I know the poem you speak of - it's interesting, I've debated with others about the meaning of that line - is it written in sincerity, or is there irony in the tone? It's gorgeous all the same, and yes, you're so so so right, the answer is elusive and far beyond difficult.
Peace to you, darlin'.
