Hamlet, sharpen your sword of trust, for Macbeth is surely waiting. The specter of ‘Civil war’ stalks the land and the ghosts of senseless violence, so long docile, have come to hollow-eyed attention. Our cauldron was filled with innocence, as the ever-thirsty succubi require, the glory of war is being shaken, not stirred and the betrayal will be served as quick and cold as steel. #chefskiss

Dear Anais, This is powerful, showing the echoing of the timeless struggle between trust and betrayal. Your imagery of Hamlet and Macbeth evokes the weight of choices in a world teetering on the brink of conflict. I love how the poem's intensity mirrors the gravity of our times, where innocence is sacrificed for darker ambitions. It's a powerful call to arms against violence and deceit. A very thought-provoking piece. - Blessings, Daniel

Thanks Daniel. It's CrAzY that so many people don't understand how well they have it now.
