  1. On 29 October 2018, R.A. West Said,

    Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday, which both fall on November 11
    11/11
    “COME OUT FROM BABYLON:(Revelation 18:4 -5) “Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of her sins (cosmic treason)…” (Jeremiah 51:6)”

    Ask The Dead.

    Do you hear their message?
    No, not the politically corrected parroting of the living,
    Rather the counsel of the shades.
    They lay buried while standing for life,
    for heroic purpose,
    for needed dissension.
    They call out as shadows with stilled voices.
    Unheard by the herd unless by reflection
    No corruption from the corrupt,
    rather the viable but grave advice
    coming now more often from the ground
    swelling,
    up to those in ivory houses,
    in their circled towers of resolution.
    Standing for their principles, but not their principals.
    Holding fast to ghouls that too have died, or should have?
    With shades of grave we send our message.
    Do you hear us?
    Have we a voice?
    Have we not earned one?
    Can you hear above the babble
    Is it then but of Babylon
    of another Babylonia?

    (And too on this 2018 occasion, Proverbs 11:11 is apropos. )
    “A city is honored by the blessing of the virtuous; it is destroyed by the words of the wicked.”

    We remember.
