Half remembered faces without names are silhouetted against the sunset, while dark clouds from the south roll up the landscape as I stand shivering in the latent sunlight. There was a time when words were made to lie about what I have witnessed. Today you cannot make anyone listen to the latest propaganda, no one is interested in the truth. Lies, promises, interpretations, what’s the difference? In the midst of deaths passion peace and harmony probably mean nothing until nothing will matter anymore. |

this read reminded me of the great negative propaganda the world now faces....tapping my memory to remind me of the last book of the Bible... Well done and moving... |

"In the midst of deaths passion peace and harmony probably mean nothing until nothing will matter anymore." You probably are so very right and the only thing that will matter then will be LOVE ... but I can't get people to listen and if they do, they forget. Better to speak to the trees perhaps. |

I understand the mood, and love the write m'friend. It's just been my experience that something, something, always matters. many times, it is just hard to pinpoint what that is... I don't think it's that "no one is interested in the truth" but simply that everyone's truth is different. A thought provoking write, and I enjoyed much. |
