What We Have

Take the love out of poetry and, no matter the scheme, it will not work for me -- take the love out of relationships, and no matter the looks, for me, the attraction cannot be -- take the God out of spirituality...and you have taken Heaven from the Heaven or Hell dichotomy -- and what is left?! What we have...a world of strife and antipathy.

It seems so simple to folks of Faith...a wonder why others have so much difficulty with clarity? Thank you, Michael. You made my day.

Perfect description of what's happened to this sterile, 1984-ish nightmare of the fading West's 'world order.' Those fools done did outsmarted themselves... Goodbye to them, and good riddance. ~ gw

An after-thought, Gershon; they say "honor among thieves" -- don't believe it. Rats turn on rats. Evil cannot live in harmony even with itself.
