Cold As Ice and Still

Cold As Ice And Still


                   If humans are granted passage to wage war at will

               the deepest shade of gray will be the darkest color of red

                     flowing beneath pallid corpses cold as ice and still




                                    --To all peace loving spirits--

Thank you G.W. I haven't been posting much, I've been doing cruises in the Med, and now we are doing cruises out of Haifa, Israel to Cyprus and Greece. Great to hear from you!...ab
