Reasoned emotion,
the right and the wrong
Obverted direction,
both weak and both strong
Impassioned, enlightened,
the mind and the soul
The moment on fire
—humanity whole
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2021)
Je Ne Je Ne Sais Quoi
Science is a tool to skew the world,
in form its weakness shows
To measure, rate, and catalog,
what in essence stays unknown
I’m not against its formulas,
but the philosophy it breeds
Its laws to serve and fertilize
—a deeper planted seed
(Tolentine Hall: February, 2021)
Preaching To The Choir
News to confirm,
and not to inform
A slap on the back,
new patrons reborn
To pander or slander,
a partisan line
No minds to be changed
—their chorus reminds
(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)
Good Bye Tomorrow
“Free speech for me,
but not for thee”
All bridges burned
—an ashened dream
(Dreamsleep: February, ‘Nat Hentoff’ 2021)

...no doubt.
Thanks Eugene

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!
Very creative, thanks so much.
Kurt
