Yes, there are all sorts of things out there, ready to be set in motion at any time, but if we put ourselves in God's hands, we needn't worry about them.
Your poem is well-written, well-edited, and an interesting read.

Thanks for your insightful review, Lois. It's greatly appreciated.

Beautiful poem that I did not read literally as being about war just as many did not see the theme of my own poem Burn as being about war.

I think that says something about people. Either we avoid the thought of it and the consequences thereof, or we are so deep in the muck of the day to day reality of war that we don't think of it even when its blatant.

So much larger than a poem about war.

Thank you very much, Erik, and you're right. We have become so desensitized by pictures, stories and reports of war, we often fail to see something far more sinister rearing it's ugly head.

Thanks for an excellent review!

DEAN: This work is PROFOUND...it's compelling, it's chilling, it's honest, it's REALLY REAL, it's damning .... it's a great and meaningful warning that I PRAY will get some powerful attention. Wish I had a six for you as it is extremely well done! HIS GRAYNESS: Vance

Thank you very much, Vance. Biological warfare is our eventual undoing, I fear. I think that comes across loud and clear in this work...my fears pertaining to it, I mean.

Thanks, again, for the wonderful review.

Dean: you are a powerful and compelling talent and I hope you will continue to use it to hammer this subject in all possible ways. If I can help in any way, I'm all yours as this is beyond 'CRITICAL MASS" thanks, Vance

reply by the author on 09-Feb-2014

Thanks again, Vance. Perhaps a future collaboration, in prose, on the topic? Please consider it.

reply by His Grayness on 09-Feb-2014

OK...it's a deal...I will begin oiling the gears and get back with some ideas and or line up with yours in the meantime..let's go! Vance

i dont think the power hungry greedy minority who create wars to feed their greed will ever learn this is truly an excellently penned piece

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek Dean. I just learned of a friends brother who had been in hospital and was found to be cancer free...but he contracted a necro flesh eating bacteria ...had a knot in his arm pit. They heli- vac ed him to surgery without which he would have died...yikes . It's a bacteria from South America...he probably got it in hospital.
Yikes ....sorry ...great poem...eeeeeeeeeeeeeek

Thanks so much, kiwilenny. What a horrible thing to have to endure for your friend's brother. Now, imagine such a deadly pox unleashed on a world-wide scale. Scary stuff, huh?

Yikes....however I am taking lots of antioxidants...chia seed....maybe if such a thing is foisted on us I'll be ok. It makes heaven worth even more...this life is a vapor...I'm prepared for any eventuality:o)
