In a time frame
taken at a moment's glance
removed from stored archives
taken out of context
given a second chance
that becomes a third
and takes on extended meanings
frozen in time..congealed in space
instruments given to expediency
taken out of context
in time frames...modern moments now
or reawakenings of ancient errors?

Spectacles of victors and vanquished
breathe countless chances
removed from stored archives
a hush plummets from observation decks
at momentary glances
that becomes another still...
the camera clicks a time frame.

Outstanding! You have an incredible handle on history, and mesh the past and present together well.
Yes, we should all be worried about this kind of repetition, this headlong madness into battle that may lead to our ultimate destruction.

Very well done, Martin...
This is one moment captured in time which should never be repeated

We are supposed to have a demonstration across my home to that effect...but with a snow storm think that's cancelled

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Martin, this is so heartbreaking, sweet friend, I too don't understand why we all can't give up while we can, for at this rate no one will be a winner, we will all be goners in this neverending melee! (sad sigh) This is so well-said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

..."reawakenings of ancient errors"--will man ever learn?!?

there you go Earth Angel, Sy has answered an age old question...when the young have no direct experience of the errors committed by their ancestors they are destined to error too. Sad way of life though
