You are so right Victor and America stands for justice and freedom, just like England does and we must always uphold those principals, wise words spoken here, love Dolly x

Thank you, Dolly.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, A Historical Perspective, takes the reader to an exhilarated moment when the power of world shaping is so clearly a force we all can bear. The feelings that were experienced by others, in desperate times, become ours, along with the sense of justice, change, and survival.

Good read, Bill.
Like usual.
Thank you, sir.

I like the way you've pointed out that we're all part of something bigger than ourselves.
I know how I love the take-off as a passenger. I can only imagine the exhalation as a pilot.

"humanity's endless struggle for justice". I like your author's notes as well as the poem. I can feel the exhilaration as you take off. "Wind-mind diverted" -- excellent phrase. Well done. An enjoyable and inspirational read.

Thank you, dear.
Comment from tfawcus
The way this poem moves from personal individuality, to man as being a symbiotic part of a machine, and by extension to being a metaphor for the country itself, makes this fascinating reading. I have sometimes felt that sense of being part of the machine when flying, and so felt a certain affinity with this one.

My brothers are fanatical about engines, and they become completely inspired by anything that has a motor! Thank you for sharing!

Comment from Hitcher
Mans endless struggle to fashion weapons of war to help them protect the values, freedoms and principles they hold dear... it is a catch 22 situation, you have to kill to survive, destroy to protect, fight to live. Interesting and thought provoking write Vic I enjoyed it!

Ain't it the truth, Hitch? Why must we eternally choose between yin and yang? When both, are always the answer.

Cheers, Victor;
>This is enough of simplicity or the type of rhetoric that expresses more actively than it does subjectively through adverbs, gerunds and other metaphorical stylish techniques.
> Use comes across quite simply as the common man would probably think of while taking flight in a jet at takeoff.
>I love how emotionally the poem affected me but I would suggest using punctuation to best satisfy me but I overlooked it.
> Your fourth verse needs punctuation is it is items in a list.
>In your fifth version need a comma after "something else".
>In verse six a comma's or period needed after "history".
>Thank you for sharing imposing this great home, Victor, and take care and have a good one.

Thank you. You do know, despite your correct grammar, that I, essentially, never listen to anyone, right? LOL

that what I used to say about relying on the truth....but I reserved my opinion, as righteous until I became a profession lyricist. Then I change to satisfy my publishers and the everyday man.
Take care and have a good one trying to rationalize righteousness & truth.

I apologise for my overbearing truth.and rhetoric producing it.

My sentiments exactly! Chuckle!

I think it is very appropriate that this poem erupted during takeoff. It fits very well to a flight by jet. It's a reminder that we are not just 'me'. It's 'us', a nation, a planet, everyone together.

Wow - a bold statement and yet a solitary whisper across both space and time, and reaching into each reader who has ever flown or dreamt of flying....there, in that moment of wonder, that's where we find our insignificance of self and the wonderment of America - awesome write!! :) :)
Thank you for sharing! :)
