War Love

There is no training, There's only War... First and foremost the war within, and the stronger you become the more strongly the external war comes at you... that's the nature of War, that's the nature of Life, that is the nature of Domination. You either prevail or you die, it's that simple... There is no Afterlife, only Victory I can trust Myself I can trust I can trust steel the war within the war without constant war constant love, I make my own verdict J.A.B. 2021

This poem made me think—Nothing can prepare us for the wars of this life, but how glorious is it when we make it to the other side. It’s the journey, it’s the mystery, it’s the feeling that matters. I like how you paired constant war and love—something that is unusual but compelling. The fight is love. Beautiful piece, Justin. I hope your year was amazing. Always, Laura

I agree with the conflict/aspect of life Justin The struggle is always there, perhaps some people just don't see it or decide not to address It.? I digress on the afterlife though ( if I take it As read?) As in one sense the word is a misnomer, as its the 'true life' it won't be taken Away once it's entered also for those truly in Christ life will extend to more than can be Imagined it being a 'super reality' entered into.' All best best; Joe.'

HEY Justin, the sprit truly leads If we acquiesce..' I wanted to Put the points across ( yet not Offend ) Amen to God for your Precence on Soup.'

I thank you for keeping it real Poet. Regarding the "Afterlife", my poetic emphasis is on prioritizing the life that's right in front of one's eyes, the here and now. Victory only matters now, not in some undefinable later time. God, G.A.O.T.U. desires that we live life now, after all, we are God's experience...J.A.B.
