MonoMan works late to satisfy his screaming boss his life a work of hate the surface merely gloss MonoMan leaves for work at dawn his face a soulless mask all emotions long since gone but if someone interrupts his task he changes to a vision of hate no patience, time or tolerance his boss may sack him if he's late in this vicious money dance So MonoMan works in his sterile room creating cold empires of hate he lovingly builds anothers tomb and smiles at the saddest fate His only joys, to beat his wife and getting off on 'Army Journal' he knows nothing of a better life for him it's all monaural So MonoMan is working late to make his schemes come true his life is sad and second rate I pray he's not like you... <<<<< < < < < << Free >> > > > > >>>>>  For A, J & B with much Love (:Living wild they found a place of peace By trickling stream and grassy field Far from normal mind they found release Lives filled by magic more magic yield Music brightens their night, sunshine their days With time for gems of life to shine & amaze Without work or routine each moment is clear No irritated boss, no back stabbing colleagues No shallow hunt for money, no need to fear Exploring mysteries of life in freedoms high Glad to live under tree and sky Smoking the herb in wonderful calmness in sweet recognition of sensual awareness Weaving their lives like a gypsy dream Not once thinking of how they might seem Rejoicing in Earth colours and sky they live And what they have they freely give Far from all Mans rules and regulations light years from his grey limitations Free to breathe clear a whole life long To cry & laugh & grow children strong In each crystal moment with being and sharing gentle shining spirits of colour, caring With each step a dance in this moment of now Giving, being, sharing and living to be. They love the life and leave it... Free [This message has been edited by allan (edited 08-11-2000).] |

These have been travelling around a bit - 'Open' to 'Adult' to 'Dark' - still I think we're in the right place now.... I didn't realise, I had a misunderstanding of 'Open'  ! Oh well, one learns (and I understand now..) Thanks serenity, Jenn E, PanDol & Maureen (& many many thanks for the photo - looks much better!) This was a struggle and it's way over genneralised but you know what I was getting at (besides I was in an awful mood!)  Never mind it IS AS it is...   Oh, and thanks to Michael!

Thanks cat! Yes, I just let my idealism (& unrealism) flow... so who says we need to be realistic all the time! |

Allan, You a n a r c h i s t I wish the first part were fiction and the second part reality! Hey, I finally found it! Took me long enough! PS Great new photo!

Hey you really ARE in a colourful mood theses days Uta. I thought you'd written antichrist for a moment. (I was called that once too - by an ex-employer!) Yes, the photo is much better, thanks to Maureen (MMoonchild) she fixed it up for me. |

Allen, I liked the poem, the first part was so angry the second so mellow, both in lilt and colour. Hope to read more of your work soon. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Allan the A N T CHRIST! What a laugh! Are you sure your ex-employer wasn’t confusing you with himself? Lotharingia "Dreams are life, reality, creation" Miguel de Unanumo |

No... He looked a little like a cross between the owl above and the popular notion of Moses. But he was a cuddly little bugger despite all that! (He'd been preaching for about 60 years.) I usually got an hourly sermon each morning! (Oh well, it beat working!) |

~Allan,...The first part is hauntingly real and the second,...well, let's just say that I've packed my bags. WoW. What an observation! I truly enjoy your work. Take care A. *Peace. |
