Well that takes me back a very long time d a. My mother used to smoke \'Players\' . I can still remember Mum asking me to pop down the shops to get her Twenty Players, back in that time there was no restriction on age buying \'fags\'. I used to got down to the shops on my scooter. Fond memories.

Never mind it may be you or maybe not, d.a., the memories stretched for the length of your work and took me to some half remembered places.
(I confess I did smoke those coffin nails for a while before I moved on and then ultimately gave up - still here)
Thanks for that one.

I\'m truly glad you can still find the same wonder in old moon that I once felt. But now humans have had their clodhoppers all over it and are threatening to spread their pollution there in great numbers...
Tried to forget and then re-remember.
But don\'t let me rain on your parade - revel if you can.

\'nothing succeeds like excess\', wrote Will and Ariel Durant when commentating on Shakespeare, who in turn argued: \'Do you think because you are virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale\'...
To engage wholeheartedly in any subject we must - first, alienate the circumstantial from the essential and accept the failings within an individual\'s actions, as individual failings and not a part of a collective, even if indicative.
To promote the visage of success and with it, the extension of perception that yields respect, we all (at times) choose to \'dress-up\' in our finery\'s, ergo the \'method\' at the nucleus of the time-unravelled \'madness\'. At the same time even if we were to choose to dress as meek as possible we would all - at some point, delight in the exorbitant spoils from a slice of life\'s cake\'s or a sip of it\'s bitter but dreamy Ale\'s.
Yes, I agree taken at face value the seemingly useless \'prancing\' of costumed culture is archaic and ritualistic BS. Yet, it has allowed for the survival of a single faith based ideology for two millennia, withstanding every and any imaginable attempts to discredit, diminish and denounce its need for existence.
For me, when something succeeds to such a degree, whether I agree with its merits, I have to respect its tenacity and question, if beneath all its human failings, there is indeed an element at its core so worthwhile and necessary to encourage continued investments in its survival. So that eventually it may elicit a distilled version of faith (any and all) that is more Mother Teresa than Roderic Borja...
Forgive me if my words come across as judgemental, I don\'t mean to be, I\'m merely trying to share my two cents worth as best as I can.

So many dress up to show they believe in the christian god, many of them to be seen to be going to church, their belief may be in doubt but they think they look right.
As you know my christian beliefs are no more as it is all a bunch of hype.
Good and true words d a.

We are all born with one purpose in life, the pursuit of happiness. There is no greater happiness than being in Love. God would be pleased if we all lived lives of Love. Those who are unloved or never love are never happy. - Phil A

Depends on the motives, I suppose.
Jesus called some people hypocrites, for dressing up to be seen of men/women.
Some folk\'s motives are good though. It\'s part of the rituals.

\'it saddens me
as kids we\'d create
rattle of gunfire in our throats
though father missed the homecoming boats\'
wonderful imagery, so vivid I hear those loud throats rattling, juxtaposed to the emptiness of boat engines that never hummed their return...
admittedly I favourited mostly for the detailed tribute you wrote in your Poet\'s comment, so that when I go back to re-read your poem, I will remember and pay the due gratitude this forgotten soldiers are owed,
thank you for allowing me to shed one more fragment of my ignorance and for introducing me to this morbid legacy of our collective heritage as members of humanity
