has been stolen> correct would be:Have been; but then again, maybe leaving it in the language it is written in actually gives something to this poem.
This is a long poem, but it is worth the time to read. Very nice, and real. What a melancholy piece.
I thought it was about a soldier until I hit the word 'celly', and realizes it was about prison. It is unique in that it makes the reader see real faces behind those locked up; and beyond those faces to the families left behind. Excellent work!
