Comment from ragamuffin
If I could have, I'd have given this piece a much higher rating, but six is the highest offered. Excellent presentation, the photo, the music, the words, all create the perfect tone for the seriousness of the piece. Oddly, I was just talking with my oldest son about just this the other day, germ warfare being more likely and more deadly than nuclear war. The germs don't stay confined to a specific area/country nor do they care if they hit rich or poor, prestigious or pauper. People just seem to prefer to bury their head in the sand. It's alarming as well as sickening. An excellent and thought provoking piece.

Argh! Just when I thought it was safe.
Back you come with a poem to blow my confidence right out of the water.
How clever of you.

The powder used in exploding the car safety cushion is a poison in its raw form. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.

Comment from in777wr#
This poem is very descriptive concerning where we are heading to. The thought that these types of weapons are used on people is horrifying. I think about the bomb in World War two, and I see that the door have been opened for such catastrophes. Well written.

Comment from A Matter Of Words
Such a powerful poem, Dean. The fear of biological warfare has got to be one of the most psychologically terrifying possibilities. You are a master of the macabre, my friend. Outstanding....Stephanie

Comment from Selina Stambi
The final line is eerie .. haunting .. and so YOU, Dean!
The author notes are fabulous. Great melding of Scripture and historical fact.
You've hit the bull's eye again!
Well done. Great presentation, as always. ( And I won't grip about the font size .. I know, I know ..:))

Another macabre winner for Mr. K. With an artful rhyme scheme you spread dire warnings and the possibility of total destruction of all of us. We are grateful. Six stars for you.

I am not sure what's scarier...your poem or your author notes.
Your poem and audio sure took me on a ride.
I usually can be quite descriptive, but somehow, you took my breath away with this.
So cool....and no I am not scared...yet...lol

This is a very powerful piece. You communicate your theme clearly. The word choice paints a vivid picture. Biological warfare is not new, and has always been brutal.
