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.

Did I miss something? Did WWIII start? Nobody let me know. Thanks for the enlightenment.

LOL!! Not yet but inevitable given the proclivity of human nature to self destruct.

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!
