Another day, another 100 dead and dying. Civilised are we? Have we all learned nothing!
And remember it is 'us' who either vote them in or allow them to be voted in!
The fires of Armageddon stoked by oil’s greed and selfish souls,
The rain of innocence-destroying bolts of Satan’s lightning and Hades’red hot coals
are sent from hell to burn and raze a thousand children’s smiles and play
From the promised lands that once we sought and now we try to blow away!
No more we strive to live and learn and with each day to take a stride
Towards the light from which we shield our mindless eyes and still we hide
Behind the veil of wilful hate and scorn the lessons history has taught
That pain and anguish meted out are not the products of higher thought!
As God, Iehovah, or Allah writhes as each of you claim that he stands
With you, as genocide is wreaked and he stares at his guilty bloodied hands
And then he welcomes those that you have condemned as the devil’s kith and kin,
For you to meet again one day when you depart! So ask yourself, what did you win!

Hi Estadio
Having read you with fascination from day one, I am pleased that (or should that be if), you are embarking on a project worthy of your talent.
I am not sure if literature, genuine literature, ever touched the masses in past times in their local vernacular; it certainly does not today. You gave us this, and told us wee, often allegorical, stories in a very ‘gallus’ way.
Sadly, I live in a literary desert, as do most of the people I know, so I will miss you, as will many others.
If your focus is a work to be published, come back and tell us when you are ready to release it to your public. I have all your ‘formal’ works on CQN stored away, and felt both that your work deserved a better outlet, but that it was reaching people (like me) who have not read a novel in 20 years.
Good luck, I look forward to the next chapter.
