58 shot and 6 killed so far this weekend.
Author: Henry Barnard
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
Timing Us
The sea laps upon the shore
Little waves are no more.
While time winds its wily way,
We are only made of clay.
Life? Life a gift unique,
But over in a blink.
Our prospects, very bleak, sink,
As the waves galore
Continue on ever more.

Anti-Russia Hysteria
So now we see what the net result is of all the anti-Russia hysteria in Congress and the country — war games carried out jointly by Russia and China. We have just driven the Russians into the arms of the Chinese. Very smart foreign policy on our part — duh. Tell me again, how was this in our interest?

Not Even A Whisper
First Love
Vulnerable alone.
So the mind casts back in time
And finds you.
But there is no face,
And no hand,
No heart.
What I would do
For a few moments together…
Just a few.
What would I say?
I miss you, oh, I miss you so – yes.
I miss the we that we were,
Once upon a time…
Stars in my eyes.
I would, yes I would,
Cling to those moments
Before they slip away.
But there are no moments,
Flown long ago…
Not even a whisper.
Vulnerable alone.
