I Hate Wars but I Appreciate the Military

It is disappointing that as long as humans
have been on the planet

we still have wars.

I would think our species would be beyond
that by now.

But as a realist, I know without the military
we would have been conquered long ago.

I know without all the men and women
in the military who served our country

we would not have the freedom we
have today,

and I know many of them sacrificed their
lives for that freedom

like the Biblical “No greater love ….”

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
