    • The sacrifice palpable, the suffering unimaginable. It’s significant that people see war as this thing that just “happens”, not considering all the coordination, planning and propaganda that goes into it. They don’t accidently happen….never mind that it makes NO sense that humanity would be MORE warlike with the progression of time, but it certainly appears as if there is more war now than ever before in known history….and that’s a LOTTA planning & coordination! And propaganda (to “prop the agenda”)

      Great tribute for D Day, EZ Joe. Good to see you again. I appreciate their sacrifice.

    • I agree 100%. “…it makes NO sense that humanity would be MORE warlike with the progression of time, but it certainly appears as if there is more war now than ever before in known history….and that’s a LOTTA planning & coordination! And propaganda (to “prop the agenda”

      Good to hear from you again.

    • “Death is death.”
      “Peace is strangled at birth.”

      The whole piece moved me. War is gruesome and no one wins. We must remember all of those who served, fought and lost their lives in the pursuit of peace. Funny how fighting is the way to find peace.
      Those two lines just stuck with me. Very good peace.

      • Heroic things are done in every war. Men rise up to give beyond the common measure of courage. But war never brings lasting peace. There has been no war to end all war. There’s just a continual slough through hell. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. 🌼

    • The prologue, set up the expectation of what we are about to experience in this story was done well. But I have to admit this journal entry of a story was eye opening. This is an enjoyable read and the vulnerability of the piece is good.

    TransmundaneI laugh, and dance throughout the atmosphereA spirit borne by light and wind and cloudI sing a song that men shall never hearPerforming for the universe, uncowed!  No form is fit to house the transmundaneMy essence is pure joy...

    Longing

    My last name says it all... I LONG to have it all again. By that I mean fucking. I could bitch again and again, yet, the longing I feel is an overpowering urge.   Powerful, constant, and tormenting. A sexless life is killing me. I want whoever you...

    Under Irish Sky

    • Good poem for a warm & stormy early-June evening….damn I’d love a shot of Irish whisky now! But I shouldn’t. For normies, it’s best not to dwell on the what-coulda-beens, but lost love is a timeless and never-tired staple for poetry & poets!

      Only when A.I. completely takes over will it ever be otherwise.
