Philosophy On Life, Evil and the World

Philosophy on Life, Evil and the World The Masters, serve their greed take from those in great need Such is evil's darkest cloaks swallows that so often chokes The Blinded, serve very well masters in the pit of Hell Each has a false laid pride darkness is where they hide The Slaves, eat deep regret of life they'll never get Each accepts a darkened yoke defiance rarely ever spoke The Brave, sail with heart paying from the very start Sacrifice to save our Souls Deep river, so many shoals The Warriors, cut ever deep die as family sets to weep Freedom's mantle they serve with epic hearts, iron nerves The Innocent, stand so bare suffer greatly, so few care Yet they are the true treasure their test is the real measure!

Thank you my friend, Robert, for speaking up and say things that not many want to hear. I have been writing for years on the subject and each time the response is limited to a few good men. My last work on the subject: HUMANITY'S CURSE had a very poor response. Excellent work my friend. Congratulations for your sensitivity and concern plus for your artistic ability!

Loved this one Robert, it always seems though at mankind's darkest hour, we always seem to pull a rabbit out of the hat. So lets make sure with all we do, we dont kill off all the rabbits!!!! :)

I echo Harry's comment. "lest We Forget!"

Thanks Richard. The problem is our schools deliberately refuse to teach true history.... Yet eagerly teach that our nation is to blame for the world's evils. A very sad reality that is bearing an extremely dark fruit..

Thank you Harry. Yes, I do care but one man's voice(words) are not enough. We as a people in this nation need to return to the concept that the world needs freedom's light to stay out of the Dark Pit. We have now ventured far off the solid path..
