The Compulsion
of Barbarity
(c)2015
Bob Atkinson
some
see living in their dreams
a
different world upon
which
we rely
to
carry ourselves toward dawn
some
see peace and justice
as
goals for which to rise
toward
that institution
of
derelict disguise
me,
I find unusual
a
soul who cannot see
simplicity
of our germ of life
when
we set it free
free
to wander openly
beyond
constraints of pride
free
to send our children
toward
the other side
free
to search our feelings
for
all who walk near us
and
free to find sincerity
as
a well defined plus
while
jumping on those teachings
which
never were that good
for
faith in understanding
tells
some what's absolute
absolutes
have no place in life
leftovers
from those times
when
life carried less of value
than
a pocket full of dimes
