Folder:
JOURNAL # 41 of these bitter times
I cannot abide
to this claim
insufficient humanity
need not reply
nerves dipped
in battery acid
only know how
to play emergency games
reasoning be
a neglected stranger
gifted with
the faulted foresight
of the ego's fun house
view of the image of things
unto the monopoly of
brutality's arrogance
the compassionate will
not bow
like birds upon
bridge beams overhead
the traffic below
simply does not appeal
the paths most knotted
are clear
fight hate better with
more love
'Because'
even when hate appears
to be winning
in the higher scheme of
evolution
it sputters only to fail
in the end
which is an illusion
since there is no end
mercy rules eternal............

A PROFOUND POEM
This poem is profound in thought and the language is not intangible as is your own inimiatable style. I loved the last stanza where you suggest that only more love can conquer hate. Ah! How I wish there were more men and women like you in this megalomaniac world of today. Keep the flag high and inspire those who read your poems. Well done!

I can relate to parts of this
I can relate to parts of this piece, but sometimes I am still confused, not knowing if I am riding along with the train, or the train is moving and I am just sitting still. Nevertheless, it is probably better to be onboard, then standing alone in the dark on the cold, trembling tracks. In all likelihood, in my tangled and bewildered state on mind, I would never hear that whistle blowing. Thanks for the write. It was wonderful as always.
and you with your poetic love letters to a poet are wonderful
as well, The ceator in me is swooning. much unpolished, honest thanks. M.
