“All That is Gold Does Not Glitter”- J. R. R. Tokien

All that is gold does not glitter,Not all those who wander are lost;The old that is strong does not wither,Deep roots are not reached by the frost.From the ashes a fire shall be woken,A light from the shadows shall spring;Renewed shall be blade that was broken,The crownless again shall be king.

“Dead and Gone”by TI

“Roads Go Ever On”by J. R. R. Tokien

ARMT Review: Compare and Contrast

“Fire and ice”

by Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

“Nuclear Attack”

by Anonymous (Japan)

Atomic bombing.

Bodies burned badly—No life.

I cannot forget.
