"Here dead lie we because we did not choose"
Here dead lie we because we did not choose
To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose;
But young men think it is, and we were young.
A.E Housman
I'm really starting to like Housman. Still can't get past my drunken pal Bukowski and the girl in the tree young Miss Dickinson but Housman is becoming my friend.
I think war is ridiculous. I also think peace is unattainable while we all keep pretending we are not one 'n the same.
My legend of a Papa Li has just been "recruited" to convene and implement a taskforce for returning soldiers. Uno, from our ridiculously exploited participation in the War Against the Countries who are Slightly Tired of Years of Being f*#ked over by the US led by Christians who aren't Christians? I say good luck to him, if anyone can do it, he can. Didn't expect another war tho hey. Thought he could probably retire seeing as the old diggers are dying off. No such luck. Ah well.
Still cannae' sleep but getting an awful lot done.
