Cool piece. Lighthouses are an imposing structure.
You can’t miss them unless you are in the trenches!
The way you put them blind to the eye is great. -

It feels like it’s already started.
Middle ground is a must in order to coexist. -

If I go, I hope it’s fast. So fast I don’t know what happened.

I do kinda believe we are headed somewhere towards this..there is no compromise and many ppl are dug deep in the thought their side is right and the other side is extreme..and we need middle ground..its the foundation of growth and hope..but i feel like our political leaders force us to choose and its a no win choice..we will see what happens..thank you all for commenting and for reading

You would think we would cherish it and realize we are all 1 and the same..instead we have been programmed to be fueled by hate and greed..we are a consumption society and we want everything for ourselves instead of sharing..we have lost our way..the sad part there are still many good people with good hearts that are caught in the cross fire of the political spectrum..anyways thank you for reading and commenting..I appreciate it

To my great regret, I think this could happen. The people may want peace, but the leaders want power and wealth. I hope good will triumph in the end, but I am quite a dreamer.

I am a dreamer too..I keep hoping we wake up and figure out we aren’t enemies with each other and we realize we are being manipulated so those in power control everything and are using us and pulling our strings..unfortunately I don’t think that will happen before something castrophic happens..which may be too late..thank you for reading and commenting..I appreciate it very much

I steer clear of political stuff (and raunchy porn.)
But your write is very well done. Not severe in its judgements, but insightful. This is the way to open people’s eyes and minds. With maturity within a write. You succeed here.
Well done, sir.-

Thank you for reading..yeah political writes are dangerous and it’s a quick way to make many ppl mad..I see flaws with our government in general..on both sides..and I honestly don’t think either side works for our best interest..thanks again for commenting

Great message with styleI enjoyed the read.

I often wonder about those who comit suicide,if at the point of no return,they reconsider their options.
Well written piece about a subject that needs much more open discussion.

![Profile picture of Mstrmnd1923]()
Thank you..and thats a great question..I think some if not most might do..maybe there’s that brief moment of reflection or introspection where you realize suicide wasnt the solution but its not reversible..its a very dynamic and complicated matter for sure..and more discussion is def needed. Its a sad and tragic part of life that many ppl(family and friends)have dealt with..a haunting experience for loved ones for sure..thank you for commenting..I appreciate it

Perhaps in his contrition he realized a schmaltzy and powerful truth — “you live once then you’re dead forever”. I cannot recall where I read it but that line has helped me stay around for 8 years. The simple things… you know? Thank you for sharing this incredible write!
