...and so he sat, this evening warm and centered on the metaled door ajar from the flames and pondered... that he be somber in his breath, a brother to death, laid resting this day and howling moonward for if only the echoes to hear, that you are missed. Your strength a burden now left...to all those left yet to serve in your stead, he howls and rests...and cries to exhale again, steadfast, strong and remembered, SGT Ryan Adams to which his honor, I now serve~

Your brother,

SGT Benjamin Tatrow

The Language of an Earth...yet to be~

Everything on this earth, from the stones, to the people, from the animals to the very molecules we breathe have no worth, other than that which "we the people" place upon them~ It is high time to once again in our history as a species redefine that which we label as priceless....for life and love are no longer there~

While it is understood within the company of those that may come to read this, that my above thoughts are completely false and can be proven so by the heart and works of good people...

...today we bury...

...that which could have easily been saved, if the hearts of mankind, did not burn of fire~

And so I invite all that find themselves enlightened in heart or of troubled spirit to speak with me now, to speak with one another and let a new language arise...so that it may be embodied, among those around us all.

I am ashamed of an America that fights over, what is a fact to be a broken health care system...

For while you read this another wounded serviceman or woman is being unattended to at one of this countries "prime and splendid" VA hospitals or being denied coverage because the heart attack they thought they were having was just arrhythmia. Do you know what a $2500 emergency room bill looks like to a disabled Veteran who doesn't make that in two months?

It looks like a great big huge middle finger from all the people that hang ribbons on their trees and slap bumper stickers on their hummers but give disabled Veterans decent health care? "Fuck you"

Well guess what, my fellow Americans....that is exactly what the American Veteran is getting for their sacrifice, which is pretty much what everyone else is getting....unless you have money~
