Learn World Wars 1 & 2 History
A time of rage, hatred, rancor & enmity
The 1st World War began with a royal assassination
Then conflict spread from nation to nation
The 2nd World War began with invasions by Germany
Then battles occurred from country to country
In the end was the formation of the United Nations
To solve the conflicts & avoid aggravations.

*WHN Poems
Sunlight struggles through dew and hazy mist
Dreams merge soft with the horizon’s sweep
Birds glide swiftly beneath the sky
Hope rises with golden rays
Shadows vanish with smiles
Filled with radiance
Inviting joy
Endless blue
Welcome
Peace
Light
Serene
Lovingly
Infinite blue
Vastness and endless
Promising freedom reins
Tempting us to soar higher
Above our world’s aggravations
Boundless hope in every sullen cloud
A canvas for wishes, for thoughts, for dreams.
I am the keeper of all things
Always closed and never open
Never to share
Never to whisper
I am the one listening to all your frustrations your aggravations and the things that piss you off in your life your job everything
Never to share
Never to whisper
I am the one sinking in the shadows as a temporary guest
Hearing what they all say about everything yet for me
Never to share
Never to whisper
I am the one that slowly defends in the shadows against nay sayers
Yet for your nay sayers I am also the keeper of all things
Never to share
Never to whisper
While you sit there coldly i want you to remember
I am always closed never open
Never to share
Never to whisper
I am the one to promise never to say a word
For me that is a promise held dearly regardless of what is being said in the shadows
The shadows is where the whispers come from take them for a grain of salt for I have not done anything
At the end of the day
I am the keeper of all things for everyone
Always closed never open
Never to share
Never to whisper
Cursed
I am plagued by things of the now: daily
physical aggravations for which
doctors have given me no cure.
Memories can’t afflict me
the way my body has
been bedeviled by
ailments which do
not even
have a
name.
I
suppose
I can say
the memory
of a physician
having injected me
four times with a substance that
gives some people dire side effects
haunts me to this day. Cursed is this world
by doctors who are meant to do no harm.
Remember, you are not alone.
So rest in the LORD and
wait patiently on Him.
Enjoy every moment of today
recognizing that each experience
requires your best, not extra, effort.
Let go of your anxieties and
let God fight against those
annoying spirits that fight against you.
Accept the fact that change is constant.
Life’s ever-increasing challenges
demand action – not alarm.
eXpect aggravations and temptations.
Their purpose is to steal your joy
and destroy your peace.
Exercise your faith in God to perfect
everything that concerns you. Ask and
expect Him to show you his power to
turn those unhealthy feelings into
extraordinary blessings.
Having done all you know to do,
just stand still and behold the
salvation of the LORD!

plaguing my extremities
time for aspirin
chemistry for sleepless nights
and painful aggravations
Written September 8, 2022
I grew up with philosophers
and never realized
how grandiose those thinkers were
before my very eyes
Neither had a Ph.D.
or similar degrees
or authored books that often took
supreme intelligence to read
They had no claim to fortune or fame
but simply, lived life well
from day to day and throughout the years
though I could never tell
The depth of all their thoughts and dreams
and how they navigated
through mud slides and rising tides
all the while, I was elated
Not privy to their tribulations
and mountain peaks to climb
in all their pains and aggravations
their spirits always shined
Reminding me of Socrates
and Plato in some ways
always finding peace of mind
despite some dismal days
Giving until their final ends
all the beauty and truth sublime
until they bequeathed this world to me
I was living as if half blind
But now I see their philosophy
all these tears and lightyears later
my dad and mom sang one sweet song
to me and our Creator.
Two Empire State Buildings fly by Earth
Phobos will crash into Earth on Mars Day
Careless Martians created our universe in Pluto's lab
Pluto walks a tightrope over underestimated solar flares
Some tell me they are tired of Poetry Soup.
It's changed a lot, so, I get their distress!
Then, I am told they have no time for it.
Then why keep posting, if it is the pits?
I have my aggravations, too.
A few people keep me stuck here like glue!
They know who they are.
They are my encouragers, and never afar.
I truly am grateful for those frequent few.
They keep this poetess penning for all to view.

~Dedicated to my special encouragers~
Darkness fancying
Unquiet
In deseribable
Anquish
Stub my toe
Vanquish
Lost my way, nowhere to go
Never forgetting
Unulterable accomplishments
I hold my breath
Nothing left
Intolerable ere
Aggravations Witness
Unquiet
Vanquished
Allotted guess I'm
Anquish...

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
The Boasting sun explain its rays
blare glare glare let the seasons charm
Assemble its warm
Hey there we're here
Thanksgiving gone merry on
Sharing days of Hardy laughter
Sharing is fair, what comes after
Animations of
aggravations nations BLOOM
AND BLOOM AGAIN
Cheer cheer world's fair and fairer
Then flare-up maximum cheers
Holiday haze here
monumental craze
Christmas is upon us
Gracious holidays
My dear eggnog laced
With pleasurable
Sensation all the
Merrier happy holiday
No objection here freer
Freer share care at the gates
Hollering to make a Major mention
At the gates cheer cheers
Holler holler louder
We declare we declare
Outrageousness sprinkling
Courageousness ALL HAIL NEW YEAR
Who shall we ever be
With flawless dignity we
Have tempered forceful greetings
Destined and determined to be free
Whene'er you feel dismay my own heart aches,
that you should suffer so without release,
I would engage the hurt for both our sakes,
absorb the pain, and set your soul at peace.
For I can ne'er be still'd whilst you are filled
with anguish, your tranquility dis-eased,
we two as one, our aggravations spilled
and blended 'til the torment be appeased.
To find a way from darkness into light,
to cast away your feelings of despair
we will prevail, that all our days be bright,
and you shall rest content within my care;
this spell of trepidation disappears
as with my love you overcome your fears.

love exuberantly
because this may be the last hug.
laugh loudly and wildly
because life is cruel, absurd and above all, poignant.
embrace your passions madly
because life's brevity mocks half-measures.
let go
little things are unnecessary aggravations.
love and live at full throttle-
who knows when the Maker may call?
Focus on the unimportant;
Fret about the fluff.
Then your mind’s too busy
For the really scary stuff.
Concentrate on clothes to buy,
Colors for your paint;
Then thoughts of mortality
On consciousness won’t taint.
Little aggravations can
Monopolize attention;
Thus the bigger issues stay
In places we don’t mention.
We are all much better off
When we can agonize
About the daily trivia
That serve as a disguise.
For underneath, such terrors lurk
Which take away your breath.
Let’s worry ‘bout a wedding –
There’s no time to think of death.
