                 -Quasipoeto-
      Where is your existence,
      in a world, seemingly, void of compassion,
      where the mold of human kindness
      is broken into a thousand pieces?

      Social justice is, a cruel reality,
      blind and bound to a futureless world,  
      one of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease.
                It has no feeling!

                  -Quasipoeto-
      You, the prince of frogs, a most noble savage!
      help me stand as the final stone is cast
      toward my aging, mosaic heart of glass.
      Come, stand with me, one last time,  
               in this final hour.

seoulair and marchmadness, was touched by your warm expressions...lines of communication are so brief... often wish for human contact in which longer discussions and lengthly dialogue could occur but forum #42 is a true representation of the fast pace world of today...when i was a small boy, i would go to the town square with my parents on friday evening...the parents would talk and visit with each other and children would play on the court square lawn. this was in the mid-40's...as time progressed the life styles quickened and we rapidly moved away for the past and families began to separate and move farther and farther away from one another. in a way, the contraction and expansion of my world represents my world's heartbeat and i am saddened by what i hear, feel and see.

Existentially poignant! Somehow we survive the dark prospect of a frightful future, and take a stand against the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune"!
