Apathy (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

Your head’s in the sand

  the canary at hand

 

The beggar inside you

  his kingdom commands

 

Mired in apathy

  lost in denial

 

One last Armageddon

  —the price of your wile

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)

 

As Aquinas Asked

 

Without there being a God,

 we could never question his existence

 

Through the shadows of the interrogatory

 divinity shines

 

Do apes question, do birds question,

 do flowers question—Aquinas asked

 

Only through the act of self-reflection

  —is the Creator truly known

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2018)

 

 

 

Time That Matters

 

Fantasy,

  a past remembered

 

Travesty,

  regret in embers

 

Sophistry,

  no reason proffered

 

Majesty,

  the treasure offered

 

Artistry,

  the future tendered

 

Modesty,

  true self is rendered

 

Memory,

  where life is gathered

 

Presently,

 —the time that matters

    Kurt,

    I will simply state...
    My head must be out of the sand because I’ve been doing a lot of self-reflection lately!

    And I would expect no less from you.

    Thanks Laura

    Kurt
