We Live We live within a garden fair A garden made but needs repair The changing of a changing way Paves repercussions in its stay And playing God the bells that ring Is playing with the primal thing I think the crude of mental core Has not refined enough the ore And I believe we sit destroy In the Rob Roy of employ We weave a garment made of lace Full of holes and little grace We play the game Russian roulette There’s no return and no reset The gun is pointed at our head And dead is dead and dead is dead It’s time we grew beyond the toys And act grown up instead of boys |

I second that -- what with war, bio-engineering, mind control, and even media... where and when does it end rather than end up like The Island Of Dr. Moreau...??? Poignant write, as always, my friend... -MVS You CAN make a difference, but first you should learn how: http://educate-yourself.org/intro.shtml |

I just saw this special on National Geographic and I learned that bull elephants are exiled from the herd at the onset of puberty due to their hormonal mating rages. (I make some weird connections sometimes.  )But this: "We play the game Russian roulette There’s no return and no reset The gun is pointed at our head And dead is dead and dead is dead It’s time we grew beyond the toys And act grown up instead of boys" reminded me of that, and *shaking my head* as my head tends to reach, a comment on our society as well. NOW give me my hug and kiss.   Such a gentle lovely man you are! |

The message is all too true. I believe this is one of my favorites of yours. It has such honesty and power. It is good to read your poetry once again. ~miscellanea |
