Shameful! The way children across the Globe get treated these days. Mankind has gone insane. News outlets only report what people will tune in to see.
A small waif of a life gets annihilated, and stupid people get more attention. Glad you showed them for what they are. - Phil A.

I\'ve not heard or seen news the past couple of days, and this truly sickens my heart. I googled and found Lilia Valutyte, a beautiful name of the beautiful little girl I saw pictured. The murder of an innocent child always leaves me in a place where I can make sense of absolutely nothing, especially when it simply becomes a footnote in today\'s news. Her life goes unlived, all that she might have been and done lost through a senseless and cowardly act. Good for you my friend, addressing this. We all need to shout!

MendedFences27 said:
Two people in one grave is unusual, today, but I can\'t say about the fifth century. Lovers buried together perhaps was a common thing, but to die together at the same moment raises questions of murder or assassination. Surely, they would have clung to one another if killed at the same time.
An interesting and quizzical piece. Why were they uprooted in the first place? Were they murdered? From what has been said, we\'ll never know. - Phil A.

Seems like you\'re describing when I first started singing. The shock of it psychologically brought delayed screams for as long as 1600 years! heehee.

Never mind the Navajo....I mean do mind the Navajo but also mind the First Nations of Australia, who for at least 65,000 years kept this environment in pristine condition... that is until 1788....
A beautiful committed write, Neville.

Such emlightened times we live in. Or did we always until some man made religious hoo gah was concocted (probably to despose of a rival knowing the roman churches corrupt background).
Love is love, period. Innit.

\'With a reason for their untimely
demise, both
conveniently and reverently denied ..\'
reverently, as your word choice
is the difference
between, a simple line and decadent subtlety..
such a lovely read, dear Poet supreme!
and yes those fella\'s took
\'forever and ever\' to a new level of extreme.. lol
funny how when Vesuvius erupted
it managed to preserve so many
people in their act of living
but not a single, couple embracing...
(am I strange for thinking like this
and connecting the two?)
lol
my bad, if it\'s in bad taste

Oh the questions such victims of cruel land-rape must ask and penned here with raw and powerful lines the proud history of many indigenous peoples that now only know second-hand about old times of living with and not off their land -- shameful the displacements to concentration camps that breed only vague smiles - -- nuff said at present Nev. on the subject about which I feel most strongly ........x

Ah, the great dispossessed of the country that would have us believe it celebrates democracy (so long as we are prepared to forget that some are a bit more equal than others).
All those mentions of celebration and defeat subjects viewed from... well that\'s the point really isn\'t it, where one is standing on the privileged or non privileged scale/balance does somewhat influence our view. Or the cold distant observers eye, my eye, soured enough to see, stupid enough to say, wise enough to know i matter not one jot.

Ah yes. It is in the \'doing\' not the \'saying\' as you clearly point out here. A good example is shagging. One (or two) can talk about it all one wants but it does not compare with the real thing.

Yes, similar to me. I spent so long finding out what Carpe Diem meant that when I finally found out, I had run out of time. There was no more day left to seize. Doh! Who turned the lights out? It was night-time by the time I found out.
Well, stop showing off with Latin phrases, says Fido! lol.
