a humble petition

to stop darkness in WC

My mistake
it wasn't a sunny day in Texas
it wasn't a day for dreary fantasies

A war has started.
A war of words.
Knowingly, unknowingly swords have been raised
and arrows and bows installed.
But for what ?

Which war has been fought for a purpose?
Which war has not been futile?
But this war plans to take creativity as targets
and shoot right at the chest
Point blank.

As words can't stop,
territories does.
borders, patrol and military are installed.

We keep writing but we are famished souls.
I would miss the confluence of rivers
the union of ideas
the spring of novel distilled thoughts.
I would miss the fables
I would miss reality's bites.

Author's Note

I hate to feel WC is torn down, shambled, there's blood all over here. The death of creativity thus began

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

I've heard of these things going on, but so far have not been directly involved, thank goodness. Nowadays, it seems that sniping, backstabbing, fussing and general dishonesty is "in", or that is what one would certainly conclude based on current TV programing. No wonder so many of us long for the days of yesteryear when neighbors got along and life was simpler.

Im not seeing it??? I think people are making something out of a mole hill.. Occas i see people being snippy with each other but i see it as more passion & protection of one's writing ability. Our writings are personal to us. Other than that i don't see a war. I think there is to much imagination & to much of noses being in others business. This isn't facebook its a place to write our hearts out. Charlie has a good thing going here. It was birthed of a pure heart. People taint that. People need to just write, like I do. I have been on here for 3 yrs now or so. It took me to sit & watch, study others to see what WC is all about & what it isn't about. It's about having a release of self expression a place to sit & write reflect dream & sometimes mourn. People just need to write & keep their noses to themselves. No war just love of writing.
