Goodnight

Mine eyes have seen the gory of a thousand battle fields Where the arms and legs are scattered and some wounds they never heal And the men of wise and wisdom never cease to stop the wheel Now we have the big one that is sure to make us kneel now our fate is surely sealed.

Wow! Congratulations, Paul! What a powerful write! I love your stanza, "Now we have the big one that is sure to make us kneel". I like that you used to rhyme to shed light on such a deep and impressionable topic. Well done!! Blessings...Meghan!
