A house divided can not stand
arqios said:
War invokes the monsters lying within ordinary men. Ideology often overrides love. Patriotism has a face of cruelty in extreme circumstances and sometimes in benign situations as well. Righteousness may be a self-formulating fog wherein he kills his own brother fully convinced he is serving a higher cause. At what cost though?

A house divided can not stand
Paul Bell said:
You get a lot of dumb wars, but the American civil war definitely rates highly.
Though I know a lot of states would probably disagree with me.
Rows of soldiers graves around the world should really teach us something, but for some reason we keep adding to them.

This cracked me up, Soren. There is nothing quite like fatherly approval with a burial clause attached. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Ah, memories. I often find memories of the past. Some good, some not. But mostly good. Great, thought-provoking words most can relate to.

Tony Grannell said:
Hello, Soren,
A face to reckon with and words to fear, any young man would tremble and yet so out of character but understandable when the love of a daughter is involved, as would a wolf growl. Fierce, honest and poetically expressed with gusto. well done, my friend.
Fond regards,
Tony.

This is truly revealing. Your poem has a sharp, playful voice that uses humor and discomfort to reveal a deeper truth: we constantly share the world with others, even in ways we rarely think about. The imagery is intentionally provocative, but it works — it reminds the reader that nothing in life is truly “pure” or exclusively ours. It made me think of the many times I travelled and inhaled other people\'s air, and, for that matter, their gas. It made me chuckle at the end. Thanks for sharing it.

Good one, Soren. My dad usually sharpens his hatchet in plain sight when boys came by to pick up my sisters for dates.

Hi Sorenbarret, I love this write. I hope it works out for them both. He\'ll have to make it work if he\'s marrying the Don\'s daughter. I\'m currently watching Gomorrah in Italian with subtitles. You\'re brilliant poem made me think of this.

Soren, I felt the warning in this. Raising something does not mean you get to control what it becomes, and that truth can be brutal. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

\'How sharper than a Serpent\'s Tooth it is to have a thankless child\'. As Shakespeare said.
A good Write on the dark side of Nature.

Hello, Soren,
Too true, Soren, it\'s all to do with survival and keeping the balance. The natural world can be as fierce as it is beautiful. I have enjoyed reading this poem, very much so. Well done indeed.

Years ago and all of your comments gave me the inspiration and confidence to try again when I thought my inner Voice was “retired”.
