Hi Pink Panther
I really liked this! It had a great meaning behind it, and you go that meaning across well. It wasn't too simple, but it wasn't too hidden either. The flow was great, and I always understood what you wrote about. I liked some of the symbolism in there as well. I liked the whole thing, except for the ending.
The rhythm started getting a bit bumpy towards the end. I felt like that final sentence didn't quite make enough sense. How about:
We don't want to become
a pile of bones in the ground.
We can't contain our horror,
as we sit by the grave we have dug.
I don't know why example, but the second last line doesn't cut it with for me. I think it might be because I find it clichéd. Now, maybe my own opinion is coming too much into this But it's up to you, what you want to change about your own poem. Good luck, and continue writing this well!
