Their past will be dust

Now write a response, ark.

IMHO, those people are not worth the energy you spent writing the poem, although it does show us their way of thinking about what is important to us.

So those soldiers guarding our monuments may have to keep their eyes peeled.

As my wife would say, EWWWWW! I hate that phrase!

when i was around 6 or 7, we used to play a game called "best falling dead" ridiculous now when i think about it, but i guess it had to do with all the cowboy/war/gangster movies we used to watch. it was harmless because you'd see a fella die in one film then there he was in another film!

this has nothing to do with IS al-qaida or any of those other murderous, power hungry, megalomaniacs and their so easily duped  followers. i just cant imagine looking at this beautiful world from 6 feet up then suddenly the last thing i see is the same thing from ground level just before the lights go out permanently.

i have to ask myself how the human race is still here after the likes of hitler, pol pot, the romans, the spanish inquisition, and all the massacres of prehistory.

if there is a God (and i'm sorry i find it harder to believe there is one) i hope that those sub-humans burn in hell and not enjoying paradise and all those virgins like they're promised.

by the way, very good work ark and you've done a good piece of work too grah
