As the Question Is Asked, So Shall the Answer Be

Heidegger it was, I believe, who said , "The dreadful has already happened" Yes we're trapped in the clutch of time We no longer have any way out(as if we ever did!) But we can always pretend it's just a puppet show "Who," may I ask is pulling the strings?" Well, we move forward in our small boats, To a reality which we have never faced before We are in need of deja vu The spinning clocks on the wall Keep us on our toes We cannot hold back the flood Yet we build our small shelters, regardless Before the final act is concluded let's rest awhile on our precarious posts we still can take pleasure even if it's only for a lifetime

Very deep thoughts, Matthew! Love them! Heidegger... Hail to the show / The puppets and kings / But who's pulling the strings?... The final act / is now concluded / Was your post precarious?... Do you know Richard Lamoureux and his enlightening Questionkus? Just try to write some: a very nice rhythm! Blessings, Hanitra
