let's see, I read this last night while at Horus8's house. I wasn't too impressed. Horus8 seemed to really get it and he loved "roll them in verbage". This poem is goofy to a certain extent. I realize when you say the dead you don't mean the dead, dead, but I can't help picturing corpse in various states of decomposition and me trying to resurrect them. Also the image of an army just feels anti-poet. Poets do not lead armies, as far as I know, can anyone tell me if a poet has ever lead an army? Does Lincoln count
