While listening to the song Flickering Flame, by Roger Waters,
I realized that likely nothing I can endeavor to write will say anything
More than has already been said as far back as several centuries ago
By the most energetic benign philosophers & poets the earth has known.
Thousands of miles of apt paragraphs to the enth power & what good
Has it all done us? When all is said and done, ...what has become of the
Development of....humanity? When will enough be enough...
For the driven-to-amass @ all costs?
...We still break our backs trying to hang
-Onto the most basic human liberties; ...still the
Same tired notions are beaten into the hoi-
Polloi...like nightstick flash and broken bone.
Same weary covetous ideas,
...different angle for the era....
If I did not have good love on this day; ...
...Good Love, at least, ...& a cast of players to meet,
...I think I’d swim out to sea...
look up into the sky...breath
........and just go to sleep....
