Those Who'Ve 'Accomplished'

Endless stretch the tracks of those who’ve ‘accomplished’! The chilling realization Iron's flash, decapitation History's knife, expurgation... What once moved men’s hearts relentless clawed apart ~ Fickle be the art of every fresh start

Accomplished to one is not Accomplished to another. Guess it is what the word means to each person. You are an "Accomplished" writer. Just ask me. Have a great/blessed day writing away.............

It is hard to make sense out of near chaos, day after day. Your poem does incite thinking, Gershon.

As we sit atop the mountain it is always difficult to remember that others "broke trail" so that you could stop by for a peek.

Which brings to mind who is accomplished, how is it measured, and by whose standard? As you have obliquely pointed out, accomplishment can bring "decapitation" and frequently does.

'Accomplishment' - Heck, at this point, I don't even understand what it means anymore. It is an 'accomplishment,' for example, to run for President, to win your party's nomination, to win the electoral vote, to be sworn into office -- and then to face daily dressing downs at the hands of the media?
