To achieve a great victory,
you must forgive a great sin
Blood of the innocent,
death to begin
The voices of children,
our enemy’s shield
As bombs have no conscience
—till darkness to yield

'The voices of children,
our enemy’s shield'..
it always, infuriates me
when so-called activist's (especially those opportunistically abhorrent, celebs)
scream and shout about things,
they know so little about, because they choose
to dwell in their ignorance, excuses
for their pathetic virtue-signalling actions..
they never want the detailed complexities, just the fast-food
quick fixes...
so they'll march against one Nations actions for retaliatory warfare
and yet act all oblivious, when the Opposition
purposely, literally: utilises woman and children, as Shields, for their war mongering Regime...???!!!
If we let it, the absurdity of modernity's reality will eat us alive: truly!
But, we were gifted this life and like the generation's before us, who also decried this hypocrisy of social righteousness, in this warped reality, of phantom equality in our so-called evolved civility..
But!
we must, find a way to survive
yes we do our best, to create awareness and help those by our side
but we can't allow ourselves
to be swallowed-up by the bleakness in our horizon's of blanket night,
we must prevail, to get a glimpse
of Aurora's streaking forgiveness,
for another chance,
another day
another taste
of this blinked existence, we call life.
(another inspiring set of lines Kurt
had me typing away my feeble reply, as soon as I read that last line..
thanks for sharing, dear Poet)
My pleasure… thanks as always for the
enlightened response.
Kurt
