Would it be possible to cite context for this one Neville?

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

Sounds like more than one Italian secret was uncovered in those bones Nev.. ---- who knows -- but maybe liaisons between same sex was taboo back then and perhaps meant certain death - your words caught the mystery so well it has set me atingle with more curiosity ..................x

The Native Indians had a true way of life for the good of all that was taken from them by those that invaded their country and changed the world.

I\'m more equal than others. To me, 2 + 2 = 5! Dunno why I\'m waffling on. lol.

Fay Slimm. said:

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

dusk arising said:

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.

All that packed away behind smiles, of every indigenous people the world over. Our history of being unkind outweighs all our shining moments put together.

That will happen. A fine write, Neville.

It makes you wonder, if our store of love is infinite if spent on the right person. You always make me think, my friend.

A blend of living, acting, and conversing make for a good run. All talk and no walk ain\'t got no one no where.

Yup - time will run off with love with too much talkin\' and not enough action - -- a right gurt get-goin\'-or-quit write today mi amigo............x

dusk arising said:

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.

orchidee said:

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.

Heroes only last for a day now.
Sir Galahad would have wondered why he bothered to put on all that shiny armour. Tomorrow it will be some other hero\'s turn.

\'But you do make me feel
like some
aroused, hardened nipple ..\'
ok, Hyung
I\'m borrowing these lines
as my epitaph

(such a fun read
however tragic the theme
but then, that\'s you
and your mighty pen, flexing
at will...)

Strange the way time makes our exits from once-loved relationships never easier to accept - -- sad but true there are no heroics needed when beaten by new paramours. No winks but sighs from me after reading this Nev.....................x

dusk arising said:

An air of being discarded by someone with whom one\'s heart wishes there were so much more.
A strange (to me) and bold piece of writing to play with my perception.

dusk arising said:

Ah yes, here you amplify the benefits of having social issues brought into our living rooms upon that screen we mock and abuse so often.
It has given us the conscience and awareness denied our forebears.

Yet sadly we stab, murder, rape and abuse. Have we become a society split down it\'s middle.
