Worshippers of war
Masterminds of chaos
Eternal thieves of history
Official crafters of myth
Like their cathedrals clean
Dark evokes dirty
Their own filth haunts
Their own breath reeks
Their old relics burn
White walls and carnival colors
Blinded by the light
Beauty must always be bright
Hallowed treasures, sultry scenes
Pensive, reverent, solemn
Stir up jealousy and fear
Engender awe and even lust
Rainbows and happy thoughts
Repeating endless epitaphs
The future is always right
Evil has taken flight
God loves all equally
Innocent, guilty or profane
Apprentice or adept
Criminal and insane
Aquarius is not accountable
As innocent as our polluted air
Blowing sin away with the wind
Capturing waves of smiling faces
Our Lady of everlasting forgiveness
Welcome to the latest New Age
joint effort you and hubby. truly you have the gift of word magick! you write in pictures if that makes sense to you. i can see the picture you write about even without a photo. so well do you define what it is your writing about. don’t sell yourself short and think of it as a manuscript for those not brain washed. for those trapped in cities that can’t escape it and if they did it would or could be a guide to a new adventure!! even if not across the world see the adventure all around you. and if you do escape the cities it might be a guide to how to do things that you and i learned by failure and trial and error. anything but i truly think you missed your calling….
organized or not…..i personally would love to read about your many adventures around the world from the perspective of someone with a critical eye to what is before you instead of what your TOLD is before you. if you take my meaning.
some of the sites you saw in the back alleys so to speak and the beauty that was found there. why not! in todays world you can self publish you don’t need publishers though i would be you get a bunch to want to print it for you.
while we are waiting for the end times!! it is something to do and another adventure to explore! the adventure that word magick can bring.

the definition of ”smart” used to mean pain! and it still applies. those devices cause pain. cooking people alive one cell at a time. hand held microwave oven with the door off. and placed on full cook. that definitely ”smarts”

well done poetry. you should put these in a book and sell it. nicely done
and all the buildings today have to pay a man or woman with a clip board for ”permission” to build. slaves can’t build without their master saying they did it right…or rather did to THEIR specifications which are garbage and ensure the destruction of the building.
those beautiful works of art that are still standing today in almost every town and city are taken over by the same goons giving out permission slips. and their specs can’t come close to the very building their occupying.
when that building was finished. it was buil with beauty and lasting quality, pride in workmanship.. something the human species lacks today.

Thanks H 🤗
that lasting quality, spot on, and in combination with that natural pride in fine workmanship, you know ‘we’ didn’t build that, because otherwise we’d be much more protective of it. If the descendants of the builders of these structures are still around, how/why would they allow this defacement?
I’ve been to Notre Dame many times, first time in 1984 as a high school exchange student. It’s really hard for me to imagine how these are improvements. There’s something about the old Gothic architecture that has a certain timeless quality to it, I can’t really describe that feeling, you get the sense that it’s always been there somehow, that at its essence it’s eternal, something so much more than mortal man. And this new design seems to want to mock that essence.

they are still standing. hundreds of years later…their beauty not diminished in the least. we will never see their like in modern architecture. no way. no one today has that pride, that artistic quality to see it through. a lost art. you are very lucky to travel the world as you have done…and to see that beauty first hand. truly blessed. i envy your adventures.
and yet who better to experience then an a teacher!! you are that and more! a homestead now and a teacher before and an explorer. what a life you have had!! what an adventure. ! that is what life is supposed to be about…the adventure.! it is why we moved to our homestead from the city! a new adventure we needed and one we got!

An adventure! I like your spirit H and I’m so glad we’ve both got to experience the city to country homestead adventure, it sure is! I do feel very lucky to have experienced so many travel adventures, too, and between Hubby and I we have so many great pics and stories maybe someday we will have a chance to share more about. I hope so and I hope too it gets less troublesome to travel, but it doesn’t look like it, the opposite in fact.

you should definitely write about it…your adventure and your hubbies. put it in a book. think of 10 million in new york city that never ever experience what you have done and your handsome hubby.
i have a friend in new york who delights in my stories of my homestead…the trials, tribulations. the joys and the sorrows. she said she has never seen things like this…and wanted me to write about it for her but i just don’t write well.
you do! write for those trapped in a city. they get to enjoy a taste of the adventure without leaving the flat! which most will never do. or so my friend says.
it seems minor to us who are living it…to those who don’t it is the only way they will ever see it, experience it a little and get a small taste of what it must be like outside of a concrete jungle.
you certainly have the skill. the experiences. leaving out of course those adventures that are yours and yours alone. but like that cathedral. what that must be like…seeing it for the first time. ect.
think about it…your quite a good writer! could be a 2nd income. or a supplement..i think it would be…i would buy a copy!

Humanity has definitely devolved. The “smarter” we get the more stupid we become. We have lost beauty and craftsmanship and replaced it with cheap and utilitarian.

Funny how these magnificent examples of past architecture last for centuries, but the 7-11 two blocks down the road may not even make it past the 50-year mark before starting to deteriorate.
