Society & Lifestyle > Political Values Parents: Would you send your child off to war?: 22 of 59
Parents, would you send your child off to war? I find this to be a ludicrous question. By the time a decision such as this would present itself, it would no longer be the decision of the parent.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Betrayal: 242 of 431
BanishedInto the arms of love I came alive.With eyes that reflected only trust.Promises of undying passion, entwined as one.Blinded by the mask you wore, deceit lurking in the shadows.Feasting upon my trust, incessant and unwavering.The obscure web you weaved, I would not see through.Ensnared in a cocoon.Alone I lay.The forc...

Some fruit can be pricey, and who wants to try something new if we will not like it? Here is an easy recipe that will compliment mo... More..

SolitudeAlone in the dark I wait...Starving for some glimpse of hope.Will tomorrow come...Will my soul be forever lost?Into the shadows I fall.Deep within the passages of my mind I slip.Thoughts of my losses embrace me...The icy air of death surrounds me.Can salvation be found?Company is a dream I must forget.These urges of ...
