The Poetry of Brian McLaughlin

Sunday, March 8, 2015

These wars my friends

have gone on way too long

the deaths of the innocents

are so totally wrong

they call it collateral damage

there's no winner in war

and accepting those deaths

not just evil, much more

Brian McLaughlin: Folks always seem to want a profile. They want to know who you are for some reason. So that makes me wonder, what about me is special enough to interesting to someone else. Here I am an old retired guy who at 63 years young writing poetry and now opinion pieces once in a while. Now the poetry that's fun. The opinion pieces, that's another story. That stuff can get you in trouble. I really don't go looking get into politics, religion and stuff, but at times, that stuff seems to find me. Is that the curse you receive when you all of a sudden start writing? Anyway, grew up in the northeast, spent some time in the service and settled in the midwest. Now you know where I came from, where I've been and where I have come to. Ok, you already know that I said that I don't care a whole lot about getting into politics or religion. What I'd rather get into is the pantry and put something together to eat, that's right, I cook and love the end product of that activity. The other item high on my list of likes is golf. Now I'm not very good, bogey golfer I am, but I love the game. Golf courses can be some of the most beautiful and peaceful places on earth.
