what would be the reason for the rain to fall today? to commemorate the tears that began an endless flow just sixty-two years ago? sixty-two years from the onslaught sixty-two years from one horrendous battle that would surely be “a war to end all wars” wasn’t that the promise or was it more a threat at any rate one must acknowledge neither was the truth battles still rage war is still waged sin is still contemplated and recorded on each page as long as there is manity plagued with lust and vanity on the soil of this sod there will be plenty souls that try the patience of our God it would be time enough if the tears had begun on that day instead of centuries where man has kept the fray a question of power tried and tried, not won. Lucifer fell from heaven in the time when war’d begun yet waiting in the wings was the awesome Prince of Peace from time immemorial a promise of release so now we wait and watch and some of us pray waiting in the wings for Earth’s final day ©December 7, 2003 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

No one will ever agree with you more. Mankind will never get himself out of the mess he's in. Only divine intervention will cure all of man's problems. Even though we kill one another I'm glad we're not puppets. We'll have to make the choice to do what's right personally each and everyone of us. If not then we'll be judged accordingly. Good write.
