Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

The Wise Dummy

You all have the answers
No boundaries
No politicians
No money
No banks
No religion
No capitalism
No guns
Utopia

I have no answers
Without boundaries
Without leaders
Without money
Without bankers
Without god worship
Without commerce
Without weapons
Anarchy

Not a single soul would be saved
Not a death more, nor a death less

Let it be said once again
When good men stand silent
Evil fills the void

I have never managed to remove all the weeds
Yet my garden is full of blooming flowers

The universe remains a mystery
As I leave my house today with but one goal
A kind gesture to a total stranger


This was a poem I had with no title, or rather any title I came up I did not like. Then this title popped into my head, now of course this was inspired by a poet here, and the best way to guess who? Go to Google and type the following “Wise Dummy Poet“ and find out!

The picture, yes this is part of my garden!

Kp Nunez August 2, 2015 at 9:42 PM Got curious about the title as I know one poet here has a website with the same name. I love the progression of the ideas you have postulated in your lines, which finally ended in one true utopic ideal. A kind gesture will never go out of style. I love this! 7 and a fav. hugs! Arthur Vaso January 9, 2016 at 9:55 PM Sorry , as I missed the comments here, and yes Richard has a book out by the same name!!!! I thought I would pay tribute to him in this way!

Paul Callus July 18, 2015 at 11:53 AM We talk of Utopia, but deep down we know that it is only wishful thinking. It does not mean, though, that we give up on our ideals; flowers can still grow amongst weeds! // paul Arthur Vaso January 9, 2016 at 9:54 PM Paul, you haven't been to my backyard! It is Utopia!!!!! :)

Robert Lindley July 16, 2015 at 7:48 PM Wisdom in your words. As always you write such great and inspiring words. The world cares not for our morals, it only cares to race onward with greed, lust and darkness plentiful. Super 7 on this one my friend.
