Horizon

many thousands of years ago, however other men and wiser by far created something you can nurture without dominating or being clever with a cleaver or a car welcome back to the future it's deja vu all over again hey there, all you Men the horizon has been defeated now we are in a gender culture war our old way has been obsoleted and that's what you fought it for all it took was a moment of thought and reflection before your began this torment to think about what does it mean to win now the war you remember is gone and the tools of war remain behind what will you do now? The future is long and by another horizon's master ticks time time will not be defeated the reality we live in is a torus this is only 'round one time except inside yourself, only, completed mind the chorus mind the rhyme

Additional Notes:
ah, shortsighted, thy name is man. Look inside. Look inside. Look. Inside. The apparent interrupt at the start is purposeful, and serves to represent my 'interrupt' of the running cultural dialogue I hear all around me, but for a moment. Now, proceed.

Hi Regis, I like this for the emotional current and rawness that it packs. This could be made into a song and sung...a social commentary put to music. There is much food for thought here. Thank you for the liner notes. Duane.

Regis, I'm unsure if I got your main thought. In olden days, when life was simpler, there seemed to be reasons for the madness, Where today it is pure insanity unjustified, unwarranted. We could live in harmony but for the war monger, money hungry of the elite who govern us. War seems to never be gone. It wages on continually......leading us down the path of more destruction. Without the horror of war where would we be? At peace........... Dellena

Regis, this is really an interesting read - I feel as cynical as you do about how much things have changed for the worse; and how we have this around us daily - with no reprieve or light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. Your thoughts are arranged in verses with profound clarity and I appreciated the content in this write. I'd personally say this is the best write I've seen this month. Very good job. I'm putting it on my list of winners for this month. Blessings, Deni
