Who are they to talk about the
Freeway of life?

In the center of this skeptical eye,
I cringe and all together shiver at this poetic oxymoron.

Tell me what part of living is free?

What would lend one to delve into a path that holds the
Definition of “way” as approach, tactic or maybe line of attack
with acceptance?
Say it out loud.
It has an uncanny resemblance to a strategy of . . . war.

Warway of life.

How amusing.

Good to see you writing again. Warway does sound somewhat more apropos, doesn't it? Especially since freedom is what war is all about. Interesting write. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "Does Rudolph fail the safety inspection if his nose is burnt out? And where does he go?

Dear Rottiestyl

Great write, we all fight for peace in many ways, and the old saying, the pen is mightier than the sword, is the best way of all. Lyz XX

Re. just me.

Well poet. Seems you have came to a plce in your life that is to upset the gray that you keep. I don't know just the correct way to explain to you my thought of your poetic work. I will try I enjoyed the words placed to a smatter of my mind yet I hold a aspect of life not many will have a clue to so what the heck. I say only this with a frown to my brow and a pain in my soul. Life my friend is never easy and well you must find your way as it will take all of you if you let it find the mind that you keep. And if God is not enough to help then I say place your weapons to the ready and never remember his name. Sakkk. Steven A. Steven A. Kacer
