Yes: please put it in Narrative Poetry! This was great for a first poem. I mean, really great. You obviously put a lot of thought into what you were writing. ...

Propaganda to support obviously positive choices, such as the Allied powers destroying Germany and putting an end to the Holocaust, is clearly needed. However, when it is used for flagrant ...

Yes! I agree with Galatea and Firestarter on this one. It is a choice, and if people wish to make that choice so be it, I can't stop them, but ...
