A SUMMARY OF THE NEWS
In the blue corner senility
In the green corner the views
In the yellow corner undying optimism
In the red corner a tank and
Plans for territorial gain
THE PATH
Beauty leads
To the heart of the mountain;
Insinuation enters dark streams
Tears gather in dark circles
When innocence wells up
the World bleeds
Clouds gather
Unclear thoughts, the wind
Drives them away. Men cut down
The sacred tree that sways.
Religion is the house of man
Children are the heart of men
Whose tears will water our graves?
Ad Summary of the News - just about sums it all up! Economy of words is your forte, Chris.
The other day I read someting on Umberto Eco's website - his views about the power of Christianity and the depth of its philosophy comparing to the weaklings of various pagan creations to which people these days so readily revert. I really like your metaphorical sourcing of Christianity in your poetry.
