Impish ignominy,
Dichotomous, diaphanous?
Utensils poised under
a muscular mustache.
Slicing the letters,
Making them more manageable.
The you’s go down easy, well
Seasoned, sea salt and cracked pepper.
But the L’s and the I’s mixed
With the E’s stick sharply
In my throat, like a splintered
Chicken bone.
Not so much the white 1’s
But definitely the “big” one.
Shaving six million whiskers
From this earthly face.

ok, i got the "L I E" part, "lies"...
to refer to "not so much the white ones" and "six million" would of course lead me to think of the holocaust..and moustache i suppose could be hitler/one of his minions?
"humiliating defeat, seperated into two, transparent" thats for those who dont want to look those words up ( i had to!).

ok, that war! *giggle*...geesh, you had me lookin' up stuff!
ok, not my favourite but certainly an interesting way to describe such a horrible event.

(tears fall down my cheeks) And the saddest part is that the world hasn't learning anything from this tragedy of Holocaust! (sad sigh) Hatred, lies, manipulation, and bloodshed still happen, when will the world get leaders who can love, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Even the clearest communication cannot hide or pillow the truth...
Took a different track on this write.
Good wishes.
