In Our Blindness, Chalked Up To Just Be Fate Life, its complexity truly astounds astounds this old soul so sadly earthbound earthbound but not without imagined flight flight into blue heavens's glimmering night. Night of ill winds that beggars disbelief disbelief of blindness that brings dark grief grief of those lost, dying with no recourse recourse from disease of war's killing force. Force spilling blood, war's sad barbaric score score of flesh and bones, as death demands more more as heaping mounds of worthless refuse refuse this world considers of no use! Life, horrors often born of man's dark hate Hate's dark blindness, chalked up to just be Fate! Robert J.
