I have heard rumors of this day--
a toss of hands
a wave of flag,
white
concession
in the wind
as though the gods applaud--
"I'll have no more of this" I say.

Let the vultures feast...

On broil of this field
bathed in sun now red
as the blood spilled
not just today
but in years past
eons gone

Sol laughed
at sweat dripping
from those who in an anticapted
frenzy of bravado would lie
family aside
        senses astride rail
and die

dead mens eyes stare unblinking

only those who survive
             find tears

I don't expect I'll live to see the day. And I aim to be an old man. All the pieces still can make a whole. Besides a little patch will look good on you. And I will always wish you peace...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Smiling at you, lady...have I
mentioned that I love you to pieces?

You're beautiful...

When the power of love overcomes the
love of power the world will know peace.

So why apologize for that to which you are entitled? So unlike you! After all it's your party...(you know the rest)

Tell me you know the rest, please.

I don't know which I enjoyed more!--the poem or your reply to the Captain.

For me it is the moon, Mercury & Mars!
As far as Mercury goes, it is retrograde until the 20th! Hang in there! I'm trying to! lol
