The beauty of the dream
Even fools are allowed in
Misinformed and crawling on narrow stony roads
Yet in this land anything goes
We all have the right to our opinions and views
Apparently even old fools
One day soon
Guns will be taken
So that freedoms truly rule
As the clowns dance
One day
Poets shall rule

Remember this! Obama was no fool!

Great. Some countries had playwrights for their leader. Philosophers were kings. Retroactive analysis and 'free verse' is not just nostalgia. Let's do a dance with the circle...

See you on our hill, Great Bear! Is this specious? Perhaps, but I love it all the same.

Guns will not be taken, Arthur, but I hope they will be regulated in a better way so that when poets have their say they will be safe in every way.
