even the smallest body
laid waste in the smut of war
holds more dignity than you
you titans of craven hatred
titans of grubby fascism
may heavy the hereafter youth
their bones be a blight upon you
& yon god resolutely scorch you
all titans from the befouled earth
then itself from living memory
see the old men declaring war
when they ought to be busy dying
clearing way for the new
fear you the ghosts of our children
& all that they doth represent
may their legacy of bravery
smother all blood of titans
rot you in annals of time forgot
even the smallest body
laid waste in the glut of war
may their bones be a blight upon you
smother you blood of titans
rot you in bowels of time forgot
the strong shall be made weak
& the weak forever strong
clear way for the new

That is curse the Shakespearean way! Excellent. Full of force and a pox on their house. Deserved

Still putting one foot in front of another… painfully at times, but still going in a forward motion. Hope you are doing well too Tony!

Not doing too badly at the moment. I’m glad your motion is still forwards leaning. Long may it be so!

Pretty much what it is, isn’t it. Such a waste of innocent life.

Very well worded. The old me really need to stop meddling in the future of the younger generation. This is powerfully done. Salut
