Notes About The Poem

'Raid Of Remembrance' by Jacqueline Hurley War Poppy Collection 1939-1945

Wars Warrantee

when a monster is born
a savior shall be born
 to slay him
must we wait
as the warrantee
awards himself further,
led astray, the seduction
of Aaron’s golden calf?
Guaranteed moral reduction
when the world is upside down
which way is   N

stay free
from uncertainty
stay right here
stay right now
thin the eye of the eye unseen
in their hate
thus what does it mean
…to be alive ?

I shine brightest,
 as bright as the moon’s radiance 
when I come to you at sunset
 I embrace
in every slur cast upon me
stammering 
are their lyrics & notes
  I rejoice
in the moments shared
even in the envious
& their mockups 
with you my lover~
at sunset

my soul moans with a myriad 
 of questions
& countless emotions
 war indemnifies 
yet I am not afraid

for my heart
& conscience
come alive,
their insults forgiven
when love comes
to visit,
at sunset

Always wars, Yann, a war started deliberately here in America, ego to blame. Most of us are ashamed of it. Ty, we'll focus on the lovers, its their world too. Blessings

Those years were horrible for the whole world. I think every home in America was affected in some way. Both of my adoptive brothers were in the war and one of my biological brothers was. It left both one adoptive and one biological in a bad way. Thanks for sharing this one with us in remembrance of those times. Sometimes I wonder could it happen again. Sara K.

The passionate heart who knows of true love shall make from it beautiful poetry and not the yearning lover whose unrequited heart became bitter. Ty, Joe. Blessings
