To my buddy Keith, a protagonist of the dark side!
The killing fields! The gods in their infinite wisdom What did they have in mind? When all is said and done That in cruelty so blind Created physical form of need Desires to stay alive Of others need to feed Cause constant fear and strife Is suffering to them not real The screaming babies� pain Or do our suffering feel Yet pleasure from them gain If knowing to them so free at hand Create such cruel world I will never understand In me that wisdom not unfurled If knowing failure would appear If free will was the game To eat the apple or the pear Than lay on us the shame I wonder on reflection true If on the other hand The foot was in the other shoe Our dilemma understand Or do they care with utmost guile To make us as they are Playing games maybe their style With promises afar I would decline such cruel feat If given of much choice Forgo such brutal deed Give protest to my voice Come hither then and show yourselves As whom you really are Defiant gnomes or elves Playing with us from afar! 12/01/2008

Free will. At odds with destiny. We are granted. I sometimes have thoughts of Gods will vs. free will. What to think, who to believe, what to look for, what to do.
Like the Three Stooges said...."Fire at Will!...Which one's Will?"

Powerfully penned sadness, Jasmin...well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Do you think the soldiers on the killing field wanted to go to war? I didn't, when I was in service, but if asked, I would have gone. Someone will do it, because others can't--or won't.

Cambodia's ones? been there, Darfour? Iraq? Paquistan? Tanzania? Libanon? Israel? Afganistan? Tchetchenia? should we continue?
Power and Gold, I wonder how the world could had been if we didn't have none of those two.
