A fine write N.
I was only reading recently: \'Store up treasure in heaven, not on earth, where rust corrupts and moths devour\'. So you will only have lost earthly treasures.
You opened that wallet? Them moths flew out of it?!

Had to look up whom you were referring to, but I must say the poem was splendid. I really enjoyed the read. Thank you.

Called to War
L. B. Mek said:
my words are too feeble, to honour your write
with empty commentary, so if you\'ll permit me
I\'ll borrow, words of a true battle hardened Genius, survivor
of war\'s, all-consuming Horror:
\'Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil\'s sick of sin,\'

Wars have ever made skies weep large tears - - these few lines of poetic power tell well some of the troubles about being drafted to \"someone else\'s war\" and results of objecting......... \"shame on them all\" for wars in the first place my friend.

It\'s always someone else\'s bloody war. In Australia of right age at the time of Vietnam and conscription by ballot. I did not win a place --- It terrifies me even now to think that had I won, I could have lost my life or been damaged beyond repair as a result of participation in that act of absolute futility.
And as Redgum put\'s it - \'I was Only 19\'.
Thanks v. much for a very powerful write Nev.

Neville,
Thank you for sharing a ‘bit of history’ about the Anchoress.
A very interesting individual.
I share in her belief that in the end
‘ all will be well,\'
\'all manner of things shall be well\'

Good names live on (including Julian here). Bad names may be remembered too, but they rot away.
And - You seen any \'e\'ermores\' about, or even \'ne\'ermores\'?

Oh such a horrifying time to be alive and thanks - I never knew of her till now - with plague and the Peasant Revolt I\'m not surprised she stayed in her cell. We can do the same for Covid and the aftermath of Trump. I thought I was dying too!
