The Hole Within Our World
Writing has always helped me to maintain my sanity in a world going mad.
I wrote this back during the horrible, hideous, truly terrible deep-water Gulf oil spill:
What a Show!
The Age is split in two
And no one knows just what to do
Or where to go
Nobody knows just how to feel
Or how to deal
Or what to say and do to heal
The hole within our world
The shard within our hearts
It’s gone beyond our wildest fears
It may just be beyond our arts
To heal this wound, so deep, so grave
It may just be too late to save
Us from the fires
Of our desires...
But what a show!
For all the universe to witness
When we go!
We’ll light up like a Christmas tree
And everyone who sees will know that
We Were Here
That we were full of fire and heat and beer
That we were fueled, quite foolishly
By beer and fear and fire
And we took the whole thing pretty high
And then we took it even higher...
Like Icarus,
If we had one fatal flaw
Then this was it:
We were blinded by the lovely light we lived in
And we never really knew just when to quit
