Politics for Poets

Snow on the big mountain this morning, way on high and up in the sky.

well . . .

I think I've blogged enough today.

"I'm all blogged out."

Content quickly gets stale, wicked, so it is always updated. Some content is hit with updates more often. Also: some of the content here is of a much higher quality than other content here. So if you don't like something: hey dude, whatever.

~ OK Now.

They say we are 'silent'. What should we do? We have noticed the devolution. Do we put ourselves at risk by talking down the cause of the psychopaths? Would anything we do be heroic? These forces, they've been set in place, and those who do the marching . . . are often not bad guys.

Praise God!

It gets left out
and no one takes it.      

The following poem is fresh, whipped up, off the cuff.

  
And they'll all
  Come to see you
     
And they'll all
    come to be with you
  
 And they'll all
     come to talk to you
 
And they'll all
     have a beer with you

 when you're gone
  when you're gone
 when you're gone
  when you're gone

And I don't understand
    why it is
          - why it is -
 it takes so long
             - so long -

 And I don't 
          understand
     why it is
       That I feel
 so very strong
    about this song
   to sing of you
 how should the words flow
     I wish I knew

  and I don't 
   understand
      what it is
            -what it is -
    that you did wrong
                    - you did wrong? -

  and I don't
     understand
       how any one
             would ever sing
                  a hateful song

 And I don't understand
     why I feel
         so very strong
    for one so gone.

And they'll all
       come to see you
  And they'll all
       come to talk to you
 And they'll all
       want a drink with you
 When you 're gone
          you're gone
 When you're gone
          when you're gone
       
     a march with drumming featured
     fades  off 
   with bag pipes to the tune which fades 
    that eventually turns into "Amazing Grace"   
 
  Praise God!
  









Wake up!
