A dream of understanding
.
The darkness creeps past the path of oblivion
drawn gently upon the currents of Space/Time
sweeping majestic clouds of understanding
were I but to dip into the either of mind
.
Here on Earth Humans in their wisdom
spend an inordinate amount of time
constructing great engines of destruction
not the harmony and truth for which I pine
.
Were we able to step back, way back
viewing the chaos with a dispassionate eye
we would clearly know the experience
and then simply wonder why
.
The Representatives argue
Ideological dichotomy rules the day
for our sins we cannot hope to escape
for Mother Nature will make us all pay
.
…and what will you tell your children
when they ask what you did today
did you lift a finger or lend a hand
or is that simply not your way
.
Searching for the answers
to explain the evil away
looking for some vivid reason
why men continue to slay
.
Although my mind becomes confused
while solutions abound by the ton
I know there really is “nothing new”
under our four plus billion year old sun
.
Now thoughts seem to scatter
all journeys come to an end
for now I know that I must leave
the World better than when I came in

About Sailor
Yup, it's me! The author of all you read here (except for the comments of course).
Having been asked to write a short article for "About Yourself", I was forced to labor (for a moment-or-two), upon what eloquent words I might use to explain myself. ................................................................................................................
This simple thought process yielded an even simpler solution. You need but read the words I have published here. All the writings (except for the Comments), are copyrighted ©, the moment the "post" is digitized and made available to the world (WWW) by the servers at namecheap, the best Hosting service you'll ever need. http://www.namecheap.com?aff=15525
Please read: "Proprietary Rights". .............................................................................................................
Now, to continue with "About Me".
I am sure you will find a few of my views embedded within my poems, and, if I would quit procrastinating, within the chapters of my future novels. ..............................................................................................................
I would ask you all to subscribe to "RANDOM THOUGHTS"
