Fire on the Horizon

Wayne, this is very deep indeed. Religion and the leaders behind each one should take a good look at what they are doing. I see very little anymore of the religions of old edifying the teachings of Christ.

Very potent food for thought, Wayne. Something we all need to hear.

Ooh, Wayne this is quite painful... I understand this and it's an ugly, sad reality. One I know that exists but attempt to bury in the back of my mind, as I truly believe it is out of my hands. If it could be put into words magnificently, then you're the man for the job... that is for sure.

Of course, I hit all kinds of buttons and I'm sharing too!

I'll protect you Wayney! :D

Hugs,

Cat

Oooh. I got a shiver up my spine. That was brilliant and powerful. Just a little bit scary as well. Loved it. :)

Oh how deep and powerful. Some wonderful words here Wayne and I vote up without a single doubt.

Enjoy your day.

Eddy.

awesome poetry Wayne ..

war is hell .. nuclear war is wholesale death of innocents..

Great write ..Wayne

the photos and prayer poem/ or incantation style poetry leaves reality glowing in darkness I freeakin loved it..:)

Said to be very deep. Not at all, but extremely striking and with vivid images within and without. Valid approach. Not my way but still full of merits. God has His unique plans for you and I. Interestingly one of your better ones.

That is definitely a proper description. For those that are left, it will not be pleasant. Look what happened in Japan! They are still having serious problems as a result.

Wayne, this is powerful stuff! The line "over the saint and the sinner" really hit home for me. We are all in this together and I can't believe that we sit back and allow such things to happen. There is no wo/man who walks this earth who is greater than the next and yet we give them the power of gods. We are all dancing around the golden calf, listening to lies. Will we wake up before the blast? I don't know anymore. You managed to paint a picture that is indeed the pit of hell and of our own creation.

My Brother,

I see you on a platform of beauty. Please stay where you are. My apologies about the 'deep' bit. I simply meant for me it isn't. There is tremendous clarity in what you write and it most certainly has it's place.

Your poem is exceptionally beautiful. I initially hesitated to use this word simply because my way is to 'lift' (different style) and this I acquired from my teacher. Still, there are many different mansions in this world. I know this.

I am a servant and as such not a lover of the separation game. I see only oneness, and I try to express this. Rest assured that to me, you remain a promising child of Spirit. I am always trying to lift myself up, to go higher and deeper. Let us do this together. I cannot do so alone. Loving thoughts.

Damn you're good Sir Wayne and here I thought you were talkin' about my sex life on lake erie , lol.

Well I hope you're the last man standing on this feeble earth and when they pick you up in their spaceship, the Galaxy Coast Guard Patrol - they will say - here was a good man, a pure man , and a no bullshit man.

And the world's greatest poet too.

Don't look at me , I am a lake erie stud, hence the title, lol

1:59am and listening to the greatest late night album of all time - can you guess?

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis

Dad- you pen so many fears and things that I think about daily. I worry so much about how I have brought a little, innocent human into this world who treads upon a rock every day that is holding enough potential to destroy everything in a second. I know you remember that essay I wrote about "The Day After". Nuclear warfare has always appalled me since then. I cannot believe we created things like this, as you said, us with so much potential and all we are doing is evil with it.

I'm sorry to whoever mentioned religion, I will just be blunt- there is no God's path, and its that attitude that keeps driving this world in the wrong direction. There wouldn't be as many wars or acts of terrorism if they weren't fighting over some aspect of religion. Religion has created nothing but a way to control people and instill fear in them to bend them to whatever will those in charge have. We need to stop sitting back and saying "It's god's plan". "God" is an extremely outdated view on the creation of the universe, and frankly, I wish it would go away. Hate me, pray for me for these comments. I don't care. Without religion, the world would be a peaceful place, or at least much, much more then it is today.

This is such a powerfully written piece Wayne---the fact that can and have done this marks us all

..no Sir Wayne you did not but I got a good idea from my comment to you about the Galaxy Coast Guard Patrol,

signed,

De Stud, lol.

Yeah the Loch Ness monster is alive and well in lake erie when I go skinnydipping with Cat

not a cat, but Cat!

Powerful poem. The invention of Hell, where they will spend eternity, where great cities used to be, now a vast, deep hole of darkness and fire. No war is not the answer, especially when it is nuclear.

Loads of sense in your words here. Powerful poetry with depth and meaning.
