The Kimono (Madam Butterfly not here).
sorenbarrett said:
Dave this one led me in several directions. I guess in all the smoke I couldn\'t find the doors. As the last door opened and the smoke cleared it left an image branded in my brain. Amusing Dave.

The Kimono (Madam Butterfly not here).
Doggerel Dave said:
So there you have it: Madam Butterfly was not involved in the making of this story.
Third line disclosure: discovered bottom of old suitcase I hadn’t opened in years, the kimono a present from my mother thirty years ago after her Japan trip. No hanky-panky with Madam Butterfly.
I thank you for your call: but understand right from the beginning, Madam Butterfly had absolutely nothing to do with this piece (how many times do I have to tell ya….??)

What a mess the people are in
Yes it\'s plain to see
The WEF, WGB, and whoever else is in the conspiracy
They have the people by the balls
With their trickery
What is the solution?
Bring back the Jubilee.

MIDNIGHT TRILOGY (2) Around Midnight.

This was a great tale. In all my adventures in life I can\'t say I have done this. Desperation breeds ingenuity. I decided to take your advice on the last poem and soon will tell a tale of my past. Thanks for the great story.

sorenbarrett said:
In my youth I worked laying track in a mine and have ridden steam locomotives in Brazil years ago. My grandfather worked for Union Pacific Rail Road as a porter when he was young, and when I was in my teens I used to hop boxcars at times. Just can\'t get away from trains. Good write

A gritty piece of work that took me to the scene. Nicely written with the \"I don\'t give a damn\" attitude of those that live it.

Statues - a Rhymeless Rant
Bella Shepard said:
How brave of you to start this conversation dear friend. History is typically written by the victors, for better or worse. And how often it is skewed because we cannot bear shame. Here in the U.S. we have those who would rewrite history completely to salve their souls, and allay their fears. Funny how fear can drive us to do or say things that contradict reality, that we may not suffer guilt. A big part of my country\'s history is written in the blood of those who suffered slavery from its inception in 1619 to to emancipation in 1865. Slavery was necessary for the economic stability of the southern states and was worth starting a war to preserve. They also sought to preserve what they thought was the rightoutness of their cause by flying the confederate battle flag over state houses and erecting statues to those who lead the charge, which have only recently been taken down. My fervent hope is that history can be taught without bias, although sadly some heads of state, primarliy in the south, are passing laws to censor textbooks and dictate curriculum against the will of teachers. If only they had the foresight to see the very slippery slope they are inching towards. I think when honestly taught, without fear, history can enlighten and encourage thoughtful and meaningful conversations that allow people to arrive at conclusions that are genuine and productive for all. But then, we are only human. Although Galileo did win out in the end, maybe there\'s hope?
bversions to get at the truth, allowing people in the future to use reason and intelligence to choose wisely.

Your idea is the best Dave - put underneath the said statues the many atrocities these so-called heroes committed and let people learn and never again repeat their deeds.

I agree, and even household products have changed because of the scrutiny. It was another time, we hope we are better than our ancestors. But history should not be erased or torn. We just need acknowledge the wrongs.

What I was taught i school I have found to be mythical, and one sided. History has many sides and each party portrays only their side. I would be for a plack commemorating a person with their accomplishments paired against their ill doing. Let the whole story be told.

I\'m with you all the way
Change is the only constant in what should be a beautiful multihued world and whilst I acknowledge many of the wrongs committed against various groups of people throughout history & the numerous motivations behind such wrongs .. They did most surely happen and we must acknowledge that they happened & not try to destroy all evidence of them .. For what else, in years to come shall we use as a measure to determine how far we have moved forward and indeed, from which to learn ..
I do not subscribe to the collective guilt that seems to grip so called civilised society ..
If I do something wrong and later realise it, then I will surely apologise .. but I struggle to apologise for what my ancestors may or may not have done .. Like I have already said .. Change is probably the only constant .. customs, values and beliefs all change, as does culture and society itself .. rant over .. sleep tight you old dog .. :)

History was a major part of my studies and now all of that is being erased. For better or worse it is just being wiped out. Funny how thin texts and resources would be for those courses, lol. And a huge appendix of hoaxes and revisionist narrative. double lol.

The Night Male
sorenbarrett said:
This was truly an enjoyable read so well constructed that it flowed like the cat\'s spray. However, this spray filled me with joy not annoyance. It reminded me of my father who told me when he was small a neighbor had a pet lion that he shaved the mane off of and tried to pawn it off as a dog. It beat up all the dogs in the neighborhood.
