Your Heart Is Strong.

Thought provoking message. Always a tussle between the mind and the heart - agree it is the mind which is fickle and keeps changing - the heart definitely knows what is to be done, but is overruled by the \'ifs\' and \'whats\'

We Evacuate To Where.

Thumbs up to Cheeky Missy for her realistic assessment of the children card too often played in these tirades against this disgusting war.
Full marks to you, Tobani for the rest.

Damaso said:
Incredible, sir, how anger can be felt gushing from the lines of this gripping and totally controversial text. Who can say they\'re right? Thank you so much for sharing. Regards.

We Evacuate To Where.
Cheeky Missy said:
Ah. Aptly illustrated herein, we see the point of mass media and social control, of the television. Never mind the facts, let\'s wallow in the latest. Besides, the fastest route to extermination of a culture and people is their progeny. The only question remaining is whether it\'s better to abort mid term or at any point, let the children live but teach them lies and deceive them thoroughly, abuse them completely, or kill them outright. Hmm. I give up. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. [P.S. I already \"tweeted\" my opinion months ago, I think.]

As long as man holds his beliefs as more important than his brother\'s life there will be such tragedies. A sad and tragic view of mankind and how he treats his fellow man. Well written Tobani

Dang! You were not, I repeat NOT supposed to make me laugh so heartily and so irresistibly in concluding when Jack suffered so much. I declare! You\'re a regular riot! Poor Jack. Oh well. Hope they manage to still live happily ever after. Excellently rendered with superbly tasteful imagery and a damning poignancy, not to mention a dose of irresistible humor. Thank you for sharing.

Your Heart Is Strong.
Cheeky Missy said:
Hahaha. And \"...the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it?\" (Jeremiah 17:9) And the mind, isn\'t it inexplicably married to the heart? Dunno. I give up. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting, fascinating poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

They Told Me They Loved Me.
Cheeky Missy said:
Answering this is rather difficult, very, very difficult. I mean, after all the verbal and physical abuse my own mother endured from hers, when she asked her father who had been party to it all whether her mother loved her, he didn\'t reply; instead, he tried to reassure her of his love. Between her and myself, we concluded with all the facts that her mother did love her. Perusing this poignant number not once but twice, I cannot say they did not nor affirm that they did. Neither can you but recall from a child\'s perspective, as she knew. I have a different angle thanks to my circumstances. On the one hand I suspect they seriously believed they loved the speaker, yet I frankly disagree with the abusive behavior toward the speaker. I know both sides, methinks. Since it is so far in the past it is difficult to reconcile, yet must be since the mind cannot rest with this perpetually eating at it. Ergo, yes, they loved the speaker yet they were dreadfully misguided and utterly incorrect in their mistreatment of their own child. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a most haunting poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Thanks for the fun Tobani when I was young my sister had a cat that hated my brother as much as he hated it. It would find his shoes and do its thing in them.
