War is a pertinent issue for all of us. If it's not in Yemin, where Saudi's stop the docks, causing the biggest famine because aid supply was stopped by military out to sea with food and supplies and our politicians just turn there head. And look at North Korea, might be good for Americans politicians to say "We are willing to send troops" and they die, this time it's near me and I really do not understand how it is happening. There is no logic in war, only for the ones with the weapons, money doesn't buy peace, it funds war.

In my country, we are taught about war and told: "Lest we forget". You are damn right, people have forgotten what war really is like. This poem Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen REMINDS US, REMINDS US, THAT PEOPLE DON'T NEED WAR. Enjoy

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

A green gas emitted from a grenade like device producing 'mustard gas', if you didn't get your mask on in time, you'd drown in your own fluids as the gas melts your lungs.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—

*You must always remember, Remind people!

My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori

It is fitting and noble to die for one's King

War is only for King's and Queen's
I don't want your stinking war

There is a very simple logic in a person's suffering. Over the years, weapon makers have made weapons that distance the fighter from the enemy. Back in the trenches, they'd call break to clear the dead. Our troops reported that they could not understand but heard laughing from the other trenches. They weren't monsters, they played and laughed like humans. So began the journey to horrible weapons like drones, that distance the person from death. Remind them "Lest we forget" men like Wilfred Owen.

To all those that have read my poems, I really try to cancel out the iterations of the style ABAC, rhyming and anything that did not fit too perfectly. The key is in the lock not fitting, and you will never be able to figure it out. It just doesn't fit. It really describes just one thing; it's your code to who knows what. In the end it only means so much, maybe nothing. Who am I to judge?

They're out of the dark's ragbag, these two
Moles dead in the pebbled rut,
Shapeless as flung gloves, a few feet apart —-
Blue suede a dog or fox has chewed.
One, by himself, seemed pitiable enough,
Little victim unearthed by some large creature
From his orbit under the elm root.
The second carcass makes a duel of the affair:
Blind twins bitten by bad nature.

So amazingly insane in the way it projects, death and life biting on the sunken flesh. The sensory direction in this line: "From his orbit under the elm root" produces such feeling of looking up between the tree branches looking down on the elm roots, then the dead animals, the only witness is the tree.

Love to know if you have a favorite poet?

Missed a tablet

Me, myself, and Irenne — Fri, 24 Nov 2017 14:26:37 +0000

Night, fall to sleep
Wake and feel this is another day for me
In my style walk through out this day
Sadness, empathy, overwhelmed
Missed my tablet again

Hour later, happy, stable, no longer in a ball
Too be clean like you
From here it seems so much easier
Tell ME! Tell ME is it true!
Just tell me that it's all good, it's fine

I no longer know if it's the tablet
Or just me, with no one to tell
Am I mad to feel so deep sadness
Or have we forgotten to feel
I hope to find out, truth
Not feelings of baroness

Tablet sinks in, life is good, or is it?

Ode to the ones I love

Me, myself, and Irenne — Fri, 24 Nov 2017 14:13:52 +0000

Finding an outlet is hard, strange, unusual
People that know me, don't know me
Like most "fake it till you make it" seems real
Not right, just something that "is real"
Only thing that is present not past

Love is past
By the time you feel it
Understand the concept
It's gone, past

So what is real now
The words I say
Thoughts I write
Yet love doesn't feel real
Grasping like a man drowning in his own lungs
Love, is so hard, long distance

See the rainbow
Where shades of black become grey
I can only feel this when in person
Maybe I should be thankful
See this as a break
Go and find my boys and have ourselves a Drink

As this was going to happen, eventually, I think?
They'd get partners and leave home
Yet when ever I see the rainbow
It's only coated with black

Black as my mind, tick, tock,
"Grass is greener on the otherside"
"What! You promised me"
"We can only make it greener in your dreams"

Haunted, lonely, green
Like a stream that only bleeds red
Nothing to contribute, only poison or displace
Falling to the bottom, becomes black not green

Ode to the ones I love

Me, myself, and Irenne — Fri, 24 Nov 2017 13:37:16 +0000

I never know when it is going to come
The walls I try to keep gold and white
It spreads like a shadow with no sense of the sun
I know one day, one day it will take me

Yet I try, I think, I distract myself
All that I want is to be able to take care
Care of what; to see myself old and kids around me
Loved and happy, knowing I've set them on a path
One that doesn't lead to my world

Pain, suffocating pain
Blackness, total blackness I welcome
To hard to resist, it infects me
Then I remember each of them, so I try
Yet I know that I can't fight this forever

Most people live their lives in gold and white
They marry, happy life, family, work hard
I don't have this, everything seems to point back to
"god gives the hardest tasks to the one he loves"
I fail to see how my sorrow could ever make my god love me more
I cry to think that this would be so
Never believe a fabled laugh when you too are sad

If I ever not make it to old man
Let my kids know I love them
Let them know it wasn't easy
Let them know I cry when I think of leaving them
Let it be known that it wasn't them that I left
It was the pain, it wouldn't leave me, wouldn't let me rest

Blackened walls replace white
Life become death
Stop, it can not happen
Genius I'd be if I could halt it
The end is only the beginning

Something you must know,
It's a favour and you must accept as true
Don't love for money or don't let money love you
Can say no More
It's my mind
Not yours
Just one's and zero's

died trying

Me, myself, and Irenne — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 12:36:24 +0000

Each step, step in human time
You forget and just watch
Each step they kill you
See the lies
Embrace the truth

front end

Me, myself, and Irenne — Sun, 12 Nov 2017 03:07:47 +0000

Hi everyone,

Been learning python for about a year and a half and I'm not exactly the fastest learner, but eventually something sinks. Anyway been thinking lately, mainly because living below the line ain't much fun, that maybe I should try and learn front end in the hope of maybe building website and maintenance etc. I really can't afford to pay for Adobe stuff and Microsoft visual studio is slow. Where's a cheap good place to start? And cheap, I mean free lol

Linux Power continued

Me, myself, and Irenne — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 05:13:13 +0000

One of the first things you will encounter with all Linux distro's is this method for checking the Linux file you are downloading is the "legitimate" ISO file you wanted to download.

Today I'll teach you basics of checking sha256sum using a Windows computer; in particular Windows 7. The operating system to be downloaded is Linux Mint 18.2 “Sonya Cinnamon released!

Why this distribution? One: it is very popular therefore used on different computer systems world wide, so if you have troubles than you should be able to find the answer to your problem. Two: I tried Antergos, however it came up with "Error establishing a database connection" and the torrent file I downloaded did not match their system of file checking called MD5 sum. Being the good guy, I post the bug and will check back in the future. :)

Here is Linux Cinnamon if you wish to try.

http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3289

Ok, so at this point, your ISO file will be downloading to your "Download" folder in Windows. To make this process easier. Press start then type "powershell". If you are like me, I pin this to my taskbar for easy access.

Depending on your system, you will get something like this.

C:\Users\YourAccountNamehere

type cd \ which takes you back to C:\

You then want to make a folder for the files you are going to download

mkdir linux\

If you wish you check that it made the folder you can do so by typing 'dir' then 'enter'.

Now than need to download the sha256sum.txt from here to verify your download.

https://linuxmint.com/verify.php

So now we want to get the sha256sum.exe file from here;

http://www.labtestproject.com/using_windows/step_by_step_using_sha256sum_on_windows_xp.html

Ok, you can now take all these files:

sha256sum.txt, sha256sum.exe
Linux Mint ISO

and put them into the C:\linux folder

open up "powershell" again and type cd \ enter

Type sha256sum linuxmint.iso > linux.txt

**Please note you will have to replace the linuxmint.iso above with the full file name of the iso you have downloaded

Now open both the sha256sum.txt and linux.txt file and compare both signatures. What you've done is tested the linuxmint.iso and sent the signature to linux.txt file. If this matches the one in sha256sum.txt then you have a good ISO and you are good to burn to CD or USB
