A Poem

Michael — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 05:17:06 +0000

I am that dreadful, blighting thing,
Like rat holes to the flood.
Like rust that gnaws the faultless blade,
Like microbes to the blood.

I know no mercy and no truth,
The young I blight, the old I slay.
Regret stalks darkly in my wake,
And ignominy dogs my way.

Sometimes, in virtuous garb I rove,
With facile talk of easier way;
Seducing where I dare not rape,
Young manhood, from it’s honor’s sway.

Again, in awesome guise I rush,
Stupendous, through the ranks of war,
Turning to water, with my gaze,
Hearts that, before, no foe could awe.

The maiden who has strayed from right,
To me must pay the mead of shame.
The patriot who betrays his trust,
To me must owe his tarnished name.

I spare no class, nor cult, nor creed,
My course is endless through the year.
I bow all heads and break all hearts,
All owe me homage — I am FEAR.

– General George S. Patton Jr.

My brothers and sisters, words fail me.
For those who understand, none are needed.
For those who don’t, none are sufficient.

Peace be with you all.

Ancient Chinese Secret

According to the British publication, The Telegraph [1], “China has secretly built a major underground nuclear submarine base that could threaten Asian countries and challenge American power in the region.”

So my question is… if it’s a secret nuclear submarine base… I think you know where I’m going with this. I won’t insult your intelligence.

TIA
