Is It Wisdom or Just My Wisdom 7.7
(i) ChildHood
Imagination is easy
For those choosing to
Live their second childhood
As they would have done
Their first, especially when
The first one was denied to them
(ii) Listen!
There is no
Worse sound
Than that of
A child
Screaming and
Crying for the
Help that
Never comes
(iii) SIN
They say hate the sin
And not the sinner,
That in my view
Is just enabling
Therefore I choose
To hate both
(iv) Mankinda
Paradise, Utopia, Heaven on Earth, communism,
Democracy, Religion, the Oceans, the forests,
the Jungles, Human Kindness and Decency,
Love, Caring, Charity, Faith, Hope, The Environment,
the Atmosphere, and This beautiful Planet:
All these things have one thing in common:
Mankind is happy to fuck it up
Or destroy it for a profit
(v) Clown
Crying is not a solution
It is only a release as is
Laughter
So if you’re a clown you
Do too much of both and
You are fucked
Oh the tears of a clown
(vi) Mask
Take off that mask
You’re constantly wearing
I have no doubt that the
Person underneath is far
More beautiful than you
Obviously have imagined
(vii) Damascus Road
It came to me in a huge flash of light
That the nuclear holocaust had begun
Then, it was just a blast
Do I need skis and a toboggan
For the nuclear Winter?
