Our race may well be losing (or winning) the race to extinction; 'to every thing there is a season' and perhaps ours is waning. Good write, George - thanks.

That last stanza is very thought provoking, as is the thought of life being a race. Serious stuff, George. Thank you.

a wonderful work, my friend. I think everything animate or inanimate has been blessed or infected with a duality of nature., and war is no different. Such things as War or Peace or Indifference cannot claim utter victory for themselves and as such, such spoils are always tainted with a sense of loss, of a kind that disturbs the soul and conscience.
