It takes your health , your hope , your loved one\'s ability to cope . It collects your time , your thoughts and your very intimidated mind . It tramples dignity and flaunts it to the world . Who am I ?

The intricate exposure which constantly takes over you express so bravely and so so cleverly - - discomfort is not to be taken lightly and you highlight its greed. A scene with pictures and verse which none will forget - keep up that warrior attitude dear friend. Thoughts and prayers are with you . xxx

Sometimes you just have no choice and have to let it all hang out. Great poetry, even with this subject matter Augustus!

God has a way of testing our resolve , even in the face of Death . Remember we die but once for life in Christ .

Cancer Dying
Louis Gibbs said:
Having just recently met you here, Augustus, I am not familiar with your back story, knowing you only as a brilliant poet. I hope not, but suspect, that this poem is a personal one. My heartfelt sympathy if this is so.
I lost my dearest friend in this life to cancer, and he/we went through this same scenario. It\'s a bitch, anyway you slice it! Kudos on this fine poem. I feel you.

Yes we live in a frightening time in the world today . Here in the U.S. we are just one executive order from destroying democracy . But like early Christianity persecution is the norm not the exception . With more accumulation of wealth at the top comes more power . And as the president of the U.S. has shown he is all about more power and oppression and subjugation .

Love the picture you chose. Makes me think of your poem in that what could happen if we swing out too far, that is being too risky in our behavior and choices. Really like the style of this work. :)

Swinging bells get the clapper .Swinging in the rain . War and swingers in peace . 50 shades of swings . Henry VIII showed Anne a swinging good time . And my favorite Sing Swing prison .

Very good write. The war in Vietnam was atrocious, so many people killed or maybe even worse cruelly wounded in both body and mind.

My best friend died in Nam . U.S. Marines . Came home in a coffin . Told not to open for view . I tried to join the Army , was 4-f . Didn\'t want anyone who was allergic to tress . Draft number selected was 316 so I was never called . I appreciate what all our soldiers went through , agent orange , nightmares , anxiety attack , the disillusionment . The war crime of invading Cambodia and the super secret excursions into Laos , certainly a blemish upon the honor of our men . I will always remember the pain and anguish of a vet telling me about having to shoot a six year old because you never know when they are booby-trapped with a bomb and they are told to go to the Americans for candy . So they giddily run up only to be gunned down . I could see the terror and reget in his eyes forever .
