Premium Member In a world of shadows, where light is a collateral dream
In a world of shadows, where light is a collateral dream, We wander through the labyrinth of times, with heavy steps and heart in hand, We string our thoughts on a canvas of clear sky, but what is clarity, When everything is just an echo of times past, an amalgam of illusions? Once we believed that clouds hide the...

Premium Member Collateral Hearts
To kindle flames for which the heart has yearned, One sets out on a quest to find great love, Each mountain climbed, no corner left unturned, From deepest seas to endless skies above. As sunlight pierces through a clouded sky, True love awakens what was cold and still, It finds its nest where deepest passions lie, In spaces longing for true love...

Collateral Damage
The hardest lesson old age has taught me, About life is that collateral damage will never let me be. When I was young collateral damage was not real to me, It was something dreamed up to by others with no plan B, Those in Authority who could not see, That everything should be free, And no harm should ever come to...

Collateral Damage Is Not Only For Generals To Have Sleepless Nights Over
I used to think collateral damage was something, Only Generals and politicians had to worry about. How wrong I was. No matter whether the decisions we all take are good or bad, Others mostly bare the consequences. And there is no use denying that fact. Parents will have sleepless nights over the decisions they make, Concerning their children. Doctors will have sleepless nights...

Children's lives lost to war - a grave mistake, Sad unforgiving abnormality. Damage, collateral, for no one's sake, Spurns norms of humankind's morality. Failure to survive beyond the childhood To heinous human criminals of war; Fairy tales, flawed, as evil trumps the good, As hopes of innocence cut short to soar. Another war is on and children die,...

Collateral Damage Written: by Miracle Man December 4, 2021 Hurtful words flow smoothly from many a tongue, like honey from the hive, but with stings of bees. Thinking once spoken, that our song has been sung, we seek forgiveness and a chance to appease. Words often injure others, unintended, some take pride being an expert at dishing. Giving little thought to those being offended, and...

Collateral Damage
Father of a broken child, he was lost to a false trial. Its hard to see through iron bars, so he'd rather admire her from the stars. She's tied to her memories with a titanium chain. His actions were so everlasting, and abhorrently in-humane. She was left so alone, Her memories she sealed tight and hid in stone. He...

One can hear metal grinding on metal making a mournful sound. A rusted door swinging aimlessly. The sounds of the death of a town. Or, perhaps, a section of a city infected with jobless blight, a paved road crumbling to nowhere, windows boarded up from the light. Buildings that once contained myriad sounds of workers and machines into the night. The stream of workers changing...
