Splattered Red

   Too often our heroes are dead
      the earth around them splattered red

    I much prefer to see them alive
      ~ not buried in some dim archive

I agree my friend. Gershon your comment on my Californias Tragedy's Exposed As The California Fires Burn On, was brilliant. Thank you for your intellect in supporting the truth. Your cleverness shines and is heard and loved. Be blessed for your Honesty and Humanitarian efforts. You make a difference in peoples lives and you are Sir a valued member for righteous thought and Honorable conscience. Again I thank you, and truly admire who you are...

i agree with you whole whole heartedly, a little like the World News , a past Prime Minister, or a past vice President, or a past General or a past political analyst, is asked to comment, they never seem to get the current person responsible to commit themselves. Blessings Jennifer - Liked this one Gershon.
