Watched a movie that I think is bound to become a classic of our times.  It was about a complicated and absolutely thought provoking movie that dealt with things as uncomplicated as love and war and what happens when the two are mixed.

A Gurnsey Tale
by Michael Romani

Broken glass on a picture frame
Holds the past of absurdity's blame
View of Kensington's Garden is to love
All that is seen from above

A proper home for an improper heart
Fit as it is to form a new start
Drinking in the shadows as if new
There in the mental widows of our views

Bombarded by flowers no one brought
Unable to frame the story sought
Words from a book find their reader
When souls like Shakespeare's plays the leader

These are the questions of our society
Formed more by humor than by piety
Like a balloon caught by ceiling
The carnival of life portrays the feeling

Some times a more is worth the pity
As one moves to a distant foreign city
There's no counting the wrongful taking
Of all of the souls lost in forsaking
