An Artist Who Writes
“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
―
I wake up every day still wondering about the changes in this world since I came of age…..
SCROLLING
Name, address, telephone number
Birthdate
Index finger poised I scroll down the years
Down
Down
Down
Down past generations xyz
Down before we were gray
And our faces etched with lines
Down when our backs were supple
And our knees strong
…..as a citizen of the USA
(Not necessarily in any type of order)
I’m looking forward to the New Year with hope
Would the good of mankind
Please raise your hands now?
Are you still in attendance?
All I hear in this cacophony of voices
Are the whistles of the greedy
The shouts of racists
The fervor of religious zealots
The chest beating of narcissists
& the cries of the oppressed.
I know you are there, somewhere
Interwoven in this dark fabric of society
Doing good deeds for others
In humble silence
All but shut out from the print
& the stage of the media
Dwarfed by noise
But not by stature
Hidden in the chaos.
Trying to live a creative life
Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
Live fully and have fun doing so...
