don't expect anyone to touch this one...haven't figured out the 'politically correct' thing yet...and besides...my much loved,admired, wonderfully unique and 'pretty darn liberal' children haven't had an eye-ball roller in a while

We watch as our credo dilutes
rupturiing into putrid pieces of deceit...
by tongues that are forked...
smashed to the ground on the flaming backs
of those who had prayed to fly

Enemy falseley labeled
while the dog is being wagged...
We offer gilt shovels to masks of kindness and peace
to claim hallowed ground for Islam
who's credo is
'broken or dead'

I really think that the "Liberal Guilt" that they tried to stuff down us in college has outlived it's usefulness.

Political correctness should be taken outside and shot! Everyone should have the right to express themselves and their views, if you don't like them or agree with them then don't read, watch or associate with them! I love the depth of this write Pat, and when I work out my interpretation I would like to see if it is aligned with your meaning.

Puzzling away,
David

The problem with religion is that it always claims victims, despite its intent, because people are always idiots. Patrick

I really like this ~ I think I understand at least some of it, and it's a feast!
It seems to be about abandoned truth, and how people and their motives don't come precisely labeled.
Blessings,
Christine

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani

Our heroes are revealed for all they are, the final flash of a dying star, for with this pen I do they mar, with hopes I leave ‘em all a scar.
