The tyranny of modernity
—aspiration enslaved
(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)
Lip Service
We speak of truth, our souls delight,
but actions prove us wrong
If words alone could make it so
—each day would end in song
(University Of Pennsylvania: May, 2021)
Waste & Folly
We are ill-served to give those who do
nothing
and know nothing
—everything

Really like 'Lip Service', especially the second paragraph.
Thanks as always, Fred.
Prefer 'Waste & Folly' - a sound political judgement if ever I've read one - more?
Thanks you Dave.
in the theme of Jerry Maguire:
'you enticed my scholarly instincts
with those brilliant first two lines'..
as ever, so unwaveringly insightful even when those insight's demean that very thing we scribblers love to do, how brave dear poet, what an example you project for those who strive to utilise it:
'We speak of truth, our souls delight,
but actions prove us wrong
If words alone could make it so
—each day would end in song'
Very, very kind, LB.
