I like this “Do not go gentle into the gas blight”. 😊

The atrocities of war felt by everyone

Powerfully penned, James. Another excellent write about the horrors of war my friend. The casualties are not just the ones who lose their life in battle. It’s returning soldiers and their families that carry those scars as well. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

I can speak from experience. Many times the civilians are truly the major suffering. They didn’t sign up for any of it. I’ve seen enough back in my days that I learned what a crock of shit most of it really is. Politicians and profits and land grabs.
Great write, Knight. You don’t have to be a Veteran (or active military) to understand the plight of so many.
Well spoken.

Thanks for reading and comenting. Only billionaires and politician win wars. Everyone else looses.

Regards
James

ooo… this is good … very sensual and intense

Chère G.,
Come close, a better and more inviting intro has not be written so far.
What a beauty you’ve made.

And the final four sentences are the cherry on the cake.
Love it to bits!
Warm regards, Gus

Gus, what a lovely thing to say. I’m so glad the opening drew you in, and the ending stayed with you. Thank you for reading so thoughtfully and for your wonderfully warm words. 🙂

Ohh there is so much in this piece. What got me it I wore the ancestors of these jeans…Damn what a line.

Fine, it’s a tie. LOL.
We’re pretty good at mutual stuff…

Hello Damian.
Yeah, why not a praying mantis. I think they are cool as hell actually. Ever since I saw my first one as a kid, as it was eating a caterpillar like a piece of corn on the cob, I’ve been amazed by them. Little green demons, lol.
Thank you much, too, for the nod.

Dude, I have a lot of scars! And several tatts, ahem. -Been quite the life. Nowadays all is mostly mellow and I am thankful for it!
And you can jack my title. When I thought of it a couple of weeks ago, I told Del that I gotta use it somewhere! This write is the result.
Thank you much, Peter.

Amazing writing, dear Styxian. So authentic and pure! Scars are a sign that life has been lived. And I think that prayers never remain unanswered. But often we realize not before many times has passed, in which way the answer has manifested in our lives.
