Notes About The Poem

Hear No Evil

Hear No Evil


To hear no evil is a fantasy
and cynical to think that this can be,
unless one lives in crepuscular ways,
kept halcyon and free from worldly maze.
Our modern times bellow sonorous words
made opulent by followers, like herds...
sans jealousy...scream desultory news
exuberant to spread visceral views
matter not how dark their penumbra be.
To hear no evil is a fantasy.
