THIS VERY THIS

Folder: 
JOURNAL #19

Ironically

it is mortal beings that take life

where as

prose requires heart

hate only eats up one's joyous spirit

there in lies

the basis for numerous Greek tragedies

Shakespearian plays were brilliantly writ

on this same dangerously fragile concept

war

love

hate

and sorrow

four components

that create

sustain

embellish

as well as

destroy lives

one's witnessing soul

in the end

thankfully

depending on

which way

one looks at it

is the supreme benefactor

believe me

there are vast reasons

most complexly put into place

for

'This Very This'.............
