STRIKING FORWARD (thinking about the world we live in now)

Folder: 
JOURNAL #28

the tough yet generous uncle concludes

we're almost there

the devil

fortune verses fate

secrets circumventing all true grit

visiting a journalist's dream hell

redundant parasites

driving time

farther back into a thief's bogus test

of faith

silence

more recent history

made up of political seduction

deceit and peril

unveiling an alternate story of

hard luck and hope

building upon the global alliance

of universal strength

as well upon the scent

the pale grumbling bull dog

with his nose full of foul infractions

all milestones

so meticulously analyzed

glimpses of freedom stolen

long now remembered fresh

while standing on the mount

of current threatening events

starkly determined

to smack this odious bully down

shouting through action to the world

war has beckoned us to come call again

the U.S. game

an unwanted valentine to the U.N.

a shaky situation today

as all roads so swiftly seem to lead to Saddam

the title of this latest production

'Hunting Down The Shortest Forever'

that is

before its far too late

to argue in hindsight

over what should have been done in the Apocolyptic

aftermath

as the world's communities need to look beyond

the limited views

from their own tiny backyards in prime example

of itself

what if we knew before hand on Sept 10th what we

were forced to learn so senselessly on Sept.11th

nobody is truly safe in the end

its easier to 'Strike Forward' than it is to

strike back...................
