Now it's time that the trumpet sounds...

Premium Member War Is a War Crime
Once wars were fought with sticks and stones
to flog the flesh and batter bones
and conquer lands, defending thrones -
though gods provoke, not one atones.

with battle-ax or bayonet)

Vibrant in time and space dissolved ineffable peace

What blood, what dish,
For obozhatelnitsa dreams!
Leaving a modicum girl
Vamp quickly flew away in the night.

So they came slowly - 
Fed with the darling child,
While the girl gradually

So Many Seduced by Rhythmic Pendulum of Trauma and Absurd Normalcy
Intelligent musical talent begins with this, to relearn the timing within our soul,
But other tactical psychological methods are busy swaying to and fro,

exhibits glint of care and concern

particularly before the
honeymoon even occurred.
