I have been lurking, but not writing much. Been watching the Gulf Coast Tragedy. It is heartbreaking to see actions, inaction, responses, media, and all else. The only one who has acquitted itself well has been the military. Many of the decision makers were simply overwelmed by the magnitude of destruction. Many were simply out of their element.
The lession for me is that I should never rely on others for the basics, and prepare for the worst.
I will not go on in these matters as this thread is not for that. This is a thread of serenety, not savagery. It is much a thread of peaceful serendipidy, not natures ravages. Still, these issues needs the poet to ring the warning bell, seeing thru the confusion and consternation with which man and nature parry. In that match, in the end, man must succumb. It is right that he recognize that while there is still daylight to see. There must come a time when few will see and cursing the darkness is all I see in todays media commentators. The poet should light the candle, but only with reflections of truth, not wishfulness, but as it is. If someone does not do this all will be lost. In these days, I can think of none better than the poet to start a tiny flame, that if kindled, would bring freedom and liberty to a bonfire of truth. I don't hear the megaphone. I don't see the love of liberty among most of our citizens. It is true that on FR, the Lair, the Canteen, there have aggregated those few who wish to light the lamp of freedom to be a light to guide us forward.
I would be remiss if I didn't end on the necessity to call on Almight God to once again admonish us to seek His face and turn from our wicked ways and procure His blessing.
I shouldn't post this on your site. It is not meant to depress but to hope that we all come to the Truth.
