Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

unto the newly borne..

pain is a teacher

and love a healer

 

guilt be a killer

and mercy, a survivor

 

death--a deliverance while

hope stands continuance...

 

of these things, our

lives are made.

I'm envious, Martin..he's a quite interesting character who's nothing if not intelligent.

Thank you, sir, for your comments.

Yep this definitely feels and reads like a song with a lovely pace and rhythm to it. Nice one. I am a big fan of E.C. I have seen him twice over the year's and he never disappoints. Great poem ell.

Thanks to all for your mighty generous comments. It's a great song, David, and made for good listening on a long drive..and you're right--the horn is exquisite.

'Majesty' need not be elaborate, just simply true, and truly simple. Put this in your own wallet to have it with you always. It's that special.

I would definitely call them prisons..quite a depressing thought but there's no getting out of it until the big sleep. I was thinking about your comment while getting cleaned up this morning and it seems to me that societal institutions seek either to harness, overcome, or destroy..I suppose that's the prison we're born into.

Thanks for your comments, David.
