Of Reason and Season It’s true that I am lost of hope Insanity beyond my cope Stupidity of lusts avail The whale is dead this one-way sail. It chills my mind to think of men That will not heed a brother’s ken That risk all life of earths abide To make a dream where they reside. But they reside within this sphere Humanity will disappear And do they really know for sure? The certain truth of their allure Than let them die and let them go My blessings to their souls in tow I would not block their heavens door And wish them well forevermore. Insanity is not a reason It’s not even a season. |

as the headlines hold us all hostage...we search for reasons where there will be none that make sense of all the loss.... You write with your usual humilty, class and grace what we are all feeling inside... thank you for that Stinkylove.... we need the nonsense to make sense...so that we can heal. love ya Sy-babes    Unknown to us, there are moments when crevices open for time to come alive with begining. |

 (big hugggsssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, and there has been so much insanity in the headlines lately and I pray all our children will be safe and everyone across the world can begin to make with the seasons and find reasons of salvation! (sigh) Bravo, sweet friend, we all love you so much, God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

How thought provoking this poem is. I simply believe insanity is an infinitesimal amount of the right mix of chemicals flitting through one's brain, creating a live boogeyman chasing us through the jungle of life. So glad you create places we can fly, I am ever, always, now ready to be a butterfly. (big smile) Thank you for making me think! Warmly, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Cold and calculating, another example of avarice and an inevitable whittling (even further) of the freedoms the rest of us enjoy. While against the death penalty it wouldn't hurt my feelings if this guy didn't live through this extortion. The authorities will never acquiesce to his demands in a country full of guns, it would be our undoing. Appreciate the write. |

I could pick out my favorite lines... but then, I'd be repeating the poem. *S* For in the midst of insanity, you've spoken for many... That closing couplet is fantastic! *S* |

Ah Sy, whoever thought we'd live in a world as crazy and insane as this. Just the insanity of the sniper in the Washington, DC area is enough to put us all over the edge. Hugs to those who are sane! And just who might that be these days? Marti |

Seymour darling heart, some days you simply blew me away with the power of your words, if wisdom were food you’d feed the world. You manage to spotlight the evils and even mange to present them in a readable and understandable way, that is what the world needs someone who unravels the knot of confusion I love it utterly utterly utterly, and thank you for posting this it is as are all your writes something very special Love and warm stuff as always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Well your writing always hits one chord or another with me, and this one hits a nerve. As you know in my country guns are only allowed for hunting with a permit, although there are shootings, they are not an every day happening up here. The day that this country does not outlaw guns, that is the day I move. Great write Sy my friend. |
