\'I’m not against its formulas,
but the philosophy it breeds
Its laws to serve and fertilize
—a deeper planted seed
Reasoned emotion,
the right and the wrong
Obverted direction,
both weak and both strong
“Free speech for me,
but not for thee”
To pander or slander,
a partisan line
No minds to be changed
—their chorus reminds\'...
forgive me for rearranging your fine work, it would take me a thousand lines to dive deep and unfurl all the insightful wisdom hidden in your words,
so lazily - I chose to restructure your very own nuggets of truth, into one flowing waterfall of accessibly tangible depiction of commentary,
on that underbelly transparency of society,
deciphering between our duality of idealistic aesthetic grandeur and that cesspool of conformity: we titled = Reality...
another great write dear Poet!

a testing read, hard to grasp its overall meaning but, I still appreciate its layered nuances and those self-conflicting sentiment\'s, used to juxtapose commentary of hypocritical judgemental mindset\'s,

Behind The Gate
FredPeyer said:
A very true and moving poem, Kurt. All we need are words, and sometimes the best place to find them is in solitude.

Behind The Gate
L. B. Mek said:
these two stanzas below, are a worthy epitaph for any scribbler, at any time: whose passion for life is immortalised within inked words:
\'Though others think me lonely,
the truth is far from that
Comrades made with each new word,
in fiction and in fact\'
\'And when my world goes silent,
I open once again
An authored book, a friend for life
—my soulmate till the end.\'...
in the words of Voltaire:
\'I salute you
in the name of the Alphabet!\'

Thanks for that Kurt - I really enjoy solitude for for vast amounts of time (retirement was a great relief).
This describes my situation almost in it\'s entirety.

Did you write this one for me, Kurt? I never remember, keep on losing words, and don\'t think I will ever be forgiven. :-)

Dignity\'s Wealth (+1)
FredPeyer said:
Two great poems, Kurt. The barber in the village where I grew up once told me that there was only one other guy with hair as bad as mine: my Father! So I used brill cream, then water, then finally got to the point where I figured if a girl does not like me because of my hair, so be it! Still feel the same way.

Kurt Philip Behm said:
Thanks Dave. My office used to share a common wall with a salon that catered to senior women.
They did permanents on Wednesdays and the smell of that solution literally came through the walls.
I\'m glad we finally moved.

Dignity\'s Wealth has definite resonances for me as I visit a unisex (or whatever the current terminology is) salon for a quick shear. And if it’s quick enough I might only have to take three breaths during the visit… A very smooth amusing read, thanks.

When I was given my Lakota name (Wanna Hin Gle), it was amazing to me
how seamlessly native America combines native religion with christianity.
There was (and is) more than one road that leading to Rome,.
Thanks, as always.

important questions, all!
having \'faith\' is never a crime, its that dark side of Any limiting \'dogma\' that creates obstacles,
the part where there is only One way and only One set of people may have access to this One saviour...
if we can\'t look at the endless Diversity within Existence and acknowledge, there may be more than One avenue for excavating answers to life\'s questions, then we continue Humanity\'s cyclical nature for self destruction:
a crusade one day, a jihad the next and on, and on, and on , and on....
and here comes Science, with its explanations as a new generation\'s Dogma, conquering all with its \'Humane\': Atomic Bomb...
thanks for sharing a thought provoking write dear Poet, please forgive my cynical representation of your profound and searching words,
thank you for inspiring my little scribbled reply
