Aquinas for Dinner

Gary Edward Geraci

 

Aquinas to wine us, dine us

Over hot pasta and pesto

And sauces made ex nihilo.

Aquinas to wine us, dine us

 

Over hot pasta and pesto.

We’ll speak of high flying saucers;

Little green men with rocket launchers;

Over hot pasta and pesto.

 

We’ll speak of high flying saucers

As tracked by modern militias.

They don’t seem to be so vicious.

We’ll speak of high flying saucers

 

As tracked by modern militias:

Real people of self-invention,

Dulled by self-imposed prison.

As tracked by modern militias,

 

Real people of self-invention,

Doubt objective moral values

And miss the beauty birthed in truths.

Real people of self-invention

 

Doubt objective moral values

Based on feelings and not thought

And so a fine thinker we sought.

Doubt objective moral values?

 

Aquinas to wine us, dine us

Over hot pasta and pesto

And sauces made ex nihilo.

Aquinas to wine us, dine us!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Written in Catena Rondo. key: “Aquinas” is the spiritual food for those starving and making a last ditch attempt to survive through self-invention. St. Thomas Aquinas, like the apostles and disciples of earlier periods, has led a countless number of souls to the Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ, the Angels, etc.

      Yes, yes Orchidee! Now we’re feeding on Aquinas and liking it! Thank you for your years of support my poet friend from another shore.
