Lest We Forget

'T seems we imagined us the train
Forgetting us  our station
Tempestuously challenging adrift
Warship on a slumbering ocean

Such is mankind's curse, too oft doomed to the actions coming from hate. Evil allows for no true peace, no harmony and oft no safety in ones life. I wish you well and safety my friend... Obvious that your government serves only itself and does so blinded to its own future peril.

Wow Robert what an honour to find you here. It seems the world is going mad. Surely there will be an outcome, a supernatural miracle. Change is always traumatic but its also opportunity. Let the poets go free

Jannie I won't forget, but this is so sad. Will we never learn?

Hi no intrusion is as welcome as yours. I live on a farm in the mountains in South Africa. Yes , things are very unstable here. Lots of hatred towarda the whites. Outnumbered by 40/1. Our so called government is fanning the flames and looking the other way at atrocities. Farm attacks are now genocidal. Thanks for caring. . Had 20 housebreaks over 20 years. The last year has been much quieter though.

Jannie where do you live? Is it scarey there because of everything that is happening? Please be safe if you are. Sorry for the intrusion but your poem gave me these words.

Hi Patricia Happy to find you here. Yes indeed! I do believe the enemy is our forgetfullness. I berate myself all day long but alas, I fail continuously. It would seem we are devided into two camps. The haves and the have nots..
