we meet to discuss peace while rattling the sabers of war.

There Is A Darkness there is a darkness stalks us all denials damsel in distress seeking refuge in feigned faith blanketed in folds of fate. There is a darkness seeking light within the crease of creeping night devoid of metronomic pace subsisting on discarded grace. There is a darkness humankind looming over peace nothing learned nothing to teach John G. Lawless ©2/4/2018
