This is outlines of words that have become deeper as I wrote them.

I am listening to a Blackbird telling the world this is my territory.

I have tried to move this to our current world, and I am having trouble moving it.

Dave

Destroying existence to prove ethics
No wondering of death
As we destroy
For petty goals
To outfit the people
Who serve us
For our desires

We bear a cost
But others will destroy neighbours
On the size of a hedge
A headscarf
A desire to avoid honesty

We attack and destroy for our ends
We have no God
To go beyond the pale
And then run chicken
Because if they are strong
We dont say a word

In life we talk
If we are geeks
About closed and open loops

Reality

We are a world, we are a people
And we will never get it right
But we must never give up
No matter how we fail

We must never give up
But never must we decide we know everthing

sad thing is,,,
the ones who feel they know it all,,,
are the ones that have given up,,,
because they have ceased to learn

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike
