Oh what fools this world doth make:
The sons of sons proclaim, but fake,
The seekers find their god in books
They seek no man that truly looks.
The children so, are taught their rage
From such books whose letters’ page
Is the signing of the blindest order,
On the fringe of bedlams border;
Where dead men die for no ones life,
Where infants cry, and brothers knife,
Where evil reigns with wakeful eye,
Where madmen live and hope doth die.

I am the two-toed wanderer

Interesting write Matt.
I especially liked this truth:
"The seekers find their god in books
They seek no man that truly looks."

matthew, I like this lots! you've improved just in the short time i've been hanging around PiP

I rarely have time to come read nowadays, much less to actually reply, but you're one of the ones I read every single time I see your name .. of course, I had to look twice to make sure it was you -- you cut your hair!
