Never To Rest

I’m a Poet…. don’t try to trap me with words or with logic you don’t understand With your barrister’s training you’re out of your league this arena beyond your command In some ways I’ve already said it all but never in the form you approve Or with comforting platitudes lining your shell as pontification behooves The slick easy answers unfit for a Sage but the pundit and liars attest My message as spoken comes at great cost —your conscience never to rest (Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)
