Having never completed last week's Word Beads, I figured I'd combine last week and this week.
Last week's words:
Rework
Cost
Abed
Phosgene
Kiloword
This week's words:
Fray
Cradle
Resent
Style
Militarily
I lay abed, wide awake, thinking about the documentary that I'd seen about World War I and the use of phosgene gas as chemical warfare. Soldier's marching militarily into the fray, down to their deaths as they choked on this deadly pale yellow cloud. The military may resent this style of documentary but, as they say, a picture is worth a kiloword. I have long believed (probably since the cradle, given my hippie parents and the fact that I was born in the States during the Vietnam War), that the cost of war—any war—is too high (though I tend to need to rework this theory when it comes to discussing our involvement in World War II). This film changed nothing except to root my beliefs even more firmly and to wish even more fervently that those in power today would see things as I do.
