Reconciled: yes, you have said it exact . . . "harmony's gone". There is no rhythm any more. Use to be able to count on it, although sometimes boring. Idiots pointing guns at cops then entire cities inflamed because cops shot first. Are there that many stupid people on this planet? Apparently so.
God bless you, my friend. Linda

Hi Linda...-smile-
I wrote a different one first...I didn't really feel it and it read so....so I found a song that spoke me inside....and changed it. yea harmony is missing.....but its over if its over...so we need to find a new song...together. Jesus...we fight and hate each other....because "they" insinuate and tell us we should. if only we would open our eyes and understanding ...maybe we could put one mind, one movement together....and figure US out. -smile-....haven't seen you around much. Linda tells me some....I pray you're comfortable....you know youre always welcome here. love you Michael

Hi Michael,
A very emotive and moving piece you've crafted here. Great presentation. The starkness of the white on black helps to drive home the starkness of the message. A fracturing of goodness knows what magnitude.
Excellent and timely piece.
proclaiming just deserts got - desserts.
when its hot - it's.
All the best

really...and how's that...did somebody else tell you...?
ah no biggie...-smile-...thank you for promoting this...but I would have myself if I wanted too....just a lil' experiment..
I have a true love of what my Country could be, should be, was meant to be. but I'm afraid most of us have turned into trix pimped out to lies as truth. oh well cant fight city hall or Luby's ...they serve what they serve. Linda...its been pleasure speaking with you again. Hopr you have a wonderful evening. love Michael

it's a writing site...it has never meant more to me than you...sorry I messed up your experiment...I was trying to help...

Thank you for sharing. I am not sure the lack of punctuation does any favors to conveying meaning here. The phrase "every knight's interest" also needs the apostrophe. Obfuscation in general should be avoided. Thanks again for enduring my constructive criticism.

well your welcome constructive critic
and I believe quite confused. Although Camelot is mentioned as well as the murder of Arthur...every knights interest is not...perhaps you have me confused with someone else...do try to be more careful in the future. good evening-

My apologies. "Every knights [sic] interest sits at the round table" is at the top of a YouTube video which rests just below your poem. I thought it was an oddly formatted last lime of the poem, especially as it deals with "knights" which go along with Camelot and Arthur. There was no structure to tell me otherwise, and the backgrounds and texts matched. Please forgive this error, and ignore the comment about the apostrophe.

Hi Michael.
I'm getting really forgetful in my old age. It's terrible when to be this way, but there's nothing I can do about it.
I'm always proud of you. Love you too!

I think you were inspired by our performances at the Olympics to write this love letter to America. The animation certainly reinforces the first stanza and its repeat for emphasis. I was particularly impressed by your insightful line: "count on imperfection purified..." Cheers- Joan
