Nightmare I was expecting more Than to be expecting a war Because I had hoped to See better when the year was new To see 2020 But after all I saw plenty Then before I saw this Not what I was wanting to see That has been haunting me Tonight the lights are flickering Dictators bickering As hubris fights its nemesis In sight of the abyss When it seems like 1914 History repeating As farce when the worst are beating Their chests to be the best Of the worst and keep on cheating Sheep who keep on bleating They get to me I get depressed You may know what I mean 2020 appears so far Unclear but here we are At not what I was looking for Where having been before The mystery is that we let Them get away with it By now I thought maybe we knew But then I should have seen And would have if I wanted to What we would soon go through Behind my hands from in between My fingers covering My eyes could have seen it coming Trying not to look but If I do I can see through what Those lying to us do Who chose this nightmare coming true Now as they dream of war Steven Curtis Lance

The generals delight in these games. They don't have to put their bodies in the danger zones.

I think this one will blow over again like so many others in recent years. Not worth the destruction and damage just to play war games.

My father was in the Korean conflict and all of the men in my father's family were military including my three brothers and my husband, a Viet Nam Veteran. This "fancy boy" in the WH with the girly hands looks like a balloon in the Macy's Day Parade.......can't believe what I'm seeing! I'm stunned that so many people can only think "in the box".

Hugs!

Our biggest fear 3 years ago is what's happening right now. Will we ever be safe from lunatic rulers and our would be king?

Those who been through WWII and Korea or Viet Nam know what horror real war was is like. This high tech-o game-playing tit for a tat dare to kill you circus does not even compare. This is a test to see what lines can be crossed. It is a very dangerous game but still does not even hold a candle to any all out war. Yes, pray for peace for the common folks. These leaders are ALL insane! Amen!
