For a Distant Friend...

Beauty comes and beauty goes,
Like the Ocean, it ebbs and flows
But the truest beauty can be seen
When mind is sharp and Vision keen.

If you look to your horizon
And your Sight can look beyond
Then truest beauty will you find,
For I can touch you with my mind!

Guatemala Unanswered

Where bad men go free as good women die.
Crying for justice that's never answered.
Their families mourn and loved ones will cry,
Waiting for justice that's never answered.

Raped, cut, bitten, tortured until they die,
Praying for police that never answer.
Gangs ruling the streets without a worry
About the police who never answer

For relatives who come, all those who cry,
Seeking, but never finding their answers
From police who shrug, roll their eyes and sigh,
The police who should have all the answers,

But then, it’s not their daughters who have died.
So the courageous police run and hide

Downfall

Downfall

(To Karl Borromaeus Heinrich)

Over the white pond
the savage birds draw away.
At twilight an icier wind blows about our star.

The split forehead of night bends
across our graves.
Under oaks we shudder on a silver barge.

Forever ring the whitewashed walls of the city.
Under a dome of thorns
O my brother we climb—blind hour hands to midnight.

Translated by Eric Plattner & Joseph Suglia

Karl's Daughter

Eleanor, Karl’s daughter died
a Jewess and a suicide.
How sad the combination. Patriarchs
are perilous, and Marx
was no exception. To be born
from such a man can make one mourn,
and make one search for roots, but she
felt only death could make her free
Don’t blame the Marxman though, but rather
he lover, for she loved her father
no less than him who gave no ring
to her, one Edward Aveling.

Fathers, lovers both tie shackles,
and can both create debacles,
and though they both claim to redeem,
they often shatter self-esteem.
If you’re a daughter or a lover
from both of them you should take cover,
though if you find your roots you may

Going Back To Glasters

I first played the pyramid stage
Back in 1984
(karl and kev, barv on bass
/
Karl on keys, kev on drums)
And anto man made four
I stayed up all night wide awake
Wearing a mile-wide grin
Diggin the transient city
And all that grooved within
Played a storm in 86
Felt like we were the kings
Fiddle bows and mandolins
Sure broke a lot of strings
We played purple rain, medicine bow
And the healing has begun
I climbed the tor at the break of dawn
Just to salute the sun
And Im goin back to glasters walkin tall
Yes Im goin back to glasters walkin tall, walkin tall

Our knowledge can only be finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite.

A rationalist, as I use the word, is a man who attempts to reach decisions by argument and perhaps, in certain cases, by compromise, rather than by violence. He is a man who would rather be unsuccessful in convincing another man by argument than successful in crushing him by force, by intimidation and threats, or even by persuasive propaganda.
