Dread Poets Sobriety

Hello all, just one visit for me today. I’ll not beat around the bush (for once), I have not settled on a title for this piece yet but it was created most recently, March 29, 2018. Thank you!

Phantoms implore you to desist

There is no motive to resist

The opalescent figures they

Have ghostly warnings yet to say

These dead know well what we’ve forgot

They wish to heal the damage wrought

Sadly we cannot salve these wounds

One glancing caress equals doomed.

There is much we can learn from the dead if we make time to listen. I spent the majority of my life utterly disinterested in any historically relevant content. I was very wrong. Take time to learn the lessons others died for and perhaps no one else will also be required to perish for that knowledge.

Joy to you all.
