 5 Nonsensical Reactions

The stale taste of sweat and tears, the wasted youth

Living in the nightmare years

Mistakes and adversity

Shift blame

From pillar to post

The sour smell of anxiety and regret

The lost time

Bleeding through the despair

Wrongful decisions

Emptiness and a lack of care.

The Touch of evil

The streak that runs within

Softly and gently it begins

To rip the fabric of a soul

Long discarded

Locked in the bowels of sadness

The Sound of the gun

An explosion of rage

That comes from the heart of someone

Holes grow in the target

That only me

My minds eye can see

The Sight of crass selfishness

Stares back at me

From a shard of self respect

Stabbed deep within the eye

Embedded in skull

That no one can take from me

.

Walk with Me

 .


Trudging on.
Through the mud,

In the blood

Of comrades,

Horses,

Foes and more.

Bullets sing

Passing by

Whistling tunes

Of death

Of peace

Promised,

Broken lies.

So on we trudge,

To war,

To memorials

Made grubby

By foetid air,

Cleaned sometimes,

By guilt.

Names etched

In stone,

In brass,

In hearts,

Forever.

Now they celebrate,

Remember

With sorrowed brow,

The sacrifice,

The death,

The futility of war.

Politicians colluded

In dark

Secret rooms,

For genocide,

In all but name,

To rid the world

Of dross

Of young

Of talent

Of families.

Politicians survived

To wreak havoc again.

One hundred years pass,

Still we let them.

So what has got me upset now ... Reviews of films and Books

Why ?

A review is supposed to inform you of what to expect, is it good or bad, is it competent or not, is it entertaining or not. What I do not want to know, apart from a very brief precis is the story, the whole story and nothing but the story including all spoilers. I mean what is the point? 
Any review that contains almost the entire plot verbatim is NOT a review, it is a waste of time.

So reviewers note well the difference

PLEASE !! and NO SPOILERS EVER !!
 
Oh and try to keep reviews to less than 1000 words, I for one tend to drift off after that !
