David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > Flee The Cold Steel Moment

Haunted by memories cast in gun metal
we flee as children do
innocent, hoping to bury ourselves
in maternal arms, wife's embrace
The cold steel moment still haunts
and even in soft embrace
we feel the chill of heat stolen
from our back and know the menace
still lives in the dark places of the heart
We glance back and find our worst fears
War does not end
it pauses,
rearms with fresh fanaticism
fed by illusions of outrage
done to us by them, until
it bursts from frozen memories
encased in steel
and burns cities and children again.
David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > In the basement of the ossuary in Verdun France lie the co-mingled bones of both German and French soldiers. The ossuary is about 2 football fields long by one wide and the entire basement is fill to the depth of at least a metre with bones. Some are scattered like these and some are stacked neatly. World War One was about as brutal as it came and even more stupid. An enormous failure of imagination and greed by those that sold weapons.
