War, Huh

truthful and insightful words...it's as if we think we've just been watching another TV show and, therefore, feel justified in tuning it out. Well done, Jerry! have a great day, your poetess friend

Thanks for dropping by, Aurore. Sadly, we have grown so calloused that we are able to tune out the horrors of war.
