1. subj. refers.

little words. Is it done on? Under?
Often? Plural syntax evaded
Even the illuminated Once
Upon a scarce remembered then.
Little words carry their ant shares.
With, for instance. Without.
95% of murderers are men, worldwide
21% of victims are women. Your oppressors
are other men, dear. Well mostly. Watch out for that 5%!

We are more alike than we are different. Men brutalize other men more often than they brutalize women. Women brutalize other women more often than we brutalize men. It would be great if we could drop it and be humans.
We were born without wings yet we fly. We have more choice than any other animal.
i was born and raised in Belfast till I was 11 (we all emigrated to Montreal then) - idyllic childhood, surrounded by doting relatives - postwar UK - still lots of rationing but never felt I lacked anything.
We started school at 4 - junior infants and senior infants over two years and then grade one etc (first standard they called it)
I walked to school down my street (Grand Parade) through the waste ground which used to have WWII bunkers of some kind and then through some small woods. Some sewer pipes come to the surface there (landslip I guess) and they were heavily tarred to prevent rusting - some extreme presbyterian (there are some very very weird presbyterian sects) had scrawled THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH in big white letters on the pipes. I was too young to sin so I ignored it. We were a secular Church of Ireland family (that's Anglican - Church of England, Church of Scotland and Church of Ireland - very middle and upper - lip service only - play a bit of chess with the vicar - drink tea - have garden fetes - my mother took me a couple of times/year - father never set foot - all the relatives were secular too although everyone still said to their kids "now I lay me down to sleep and all the classical stuff - it's actually very comforting to a child)
Fast forward to the Troubles which began in 1969. The IRA used to murder people and then hide the bodies so that the parents and relatives husbands, wives fathers sisters brothers etc never knew where the bodies were and couldn't get closure - the Protestants were no angels ether
Religion to a large extent, however, was only a marker for culture - you had low church Calvinism on one side - very Protestant individualist - industrious, delayed gratification and all that, versus a cloying Catholic theocracy which had a stranglehold on Irish society - the South of Ireland that is - the Republic.
26 counties of Ireland's 32 constitute the Republic of Ireland and six counties comprise Northern Ireland in which there was, until recently, a Protestant majority. The Protestants had voted to stay with the United Kingdom when the rest of Ireland got its independence (sorta) in 1921 (full independence around 1948/69)
so bring out your dead refers to bereaved Northern Irish others - while tarblack sewer pipes are as referred to above
JAYSUS - is this what you meant by flashbacks (chortles)
Anyway - that's it for now - it's now 12:34 in the intellectual heartland of North Smerica - the northeast - where is William F Buckley Jr now that we need him (perhaps he's your worst nightmare - I don't know your politics and don't need to (I don't actually need anything - however there's also a level of being which whispers OTOH would be nice to, or would be nice if
