          A Bigger Threat

 

Incompetence…

  much more dangerous than corruption

    —when skillfully applied

 

(Note To The President-October, 2013)

 

    A Greater Wrong

 

Within a lesser right

 there is a greater wrong

   —begging to get out

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania:  Watching the 60 Minutes

 Episode on Benghazi - October 27th, 2013)

 

 

     Implacability

 

As our resolve hardened

  —the viewing platform changed

 

  (Villanova Pennsylvania: October 28th, 2013)

 

 

Beyond

 

The River….

Passing water

Through time

Its message

Deliverable

Beyond the millennia

Beyond the confusion

  —beyond

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2013)

 

True Immortality

 

To live on inside the hearts

  of those you’ve loved

 

Is life

  —beyond your dreams

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2013)

 

 

Screaming Loud

 

Sculpting with his words,

  the verse carved through the silence

   —until screaming loud

 

(Haiku Alliteration: Villanova Pennsylvania, Jan. 2014)

 

             True Worth

 

An ounce of experience

   —is worth a thousand pounds of why

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)

 

        

Married To Words

     

I’m never lonely
  —I’m a writer

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)

    Kurt,

    So much truth in your writes! So much damage has been done!

    Today I listened to a methodical, respectful, and compelling speech regarding the confirmation of the Supreme Court justice.

    So many wrongs to be righted!

    ~Laura~

    Of the ones you just added as I was commenting, I love, love “True Immortality”!



    • Kurt Philip Behm

      More than anything else (intelligence, verbosity, humor etc) I
      value and treasure courage. It's the one human characteristic
      that separates the good from the truly great. Susan showed great
      courage today and I was extremely proud watching her live.

      Courage is what America was built on, and the lack of courage may
      be our undoing...

          Thanks Laura, posting one more.

          • Laura🌻

            My pleasure 😊

            Yes, Susan was phenomenal!

            From reading your writings, I sense the same about you...
            A very courageous man!
            I can sense that you are one of the great ones! You say you “value and treasure courage”. I can feel that through your writings! That is one of the reasons why you’ve become my favorite living author!

              Now I'm speechless and frozen in my chair. I'm running out
              of ways to say 'THANK YOU.' (But I'll Keep Trying).

              Have a great weekend!

              Kurt

              • Laura🌻

                Thaw out of your chair and go for a walk with your best friend!😉

                Enjoy your weekend!😊

                Wow! These words were excellent. Nice work!

              • Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet

                Kurt, there are so many words of wisdom in your poetic thoughts.

                We the readers, enjoy them immensely. I especially love

                "Incompetence…
                much more dangerous than corruption —when skillfully applied."

                Thanks for sharing! 🙂

                Thanks again Tamara
