Universal Soldiers Vs Knights of the Round Table Today
Dear Ken Rone,
Thanks for your contribution to the title, and the inspiration of this poem
Your words “Universal Soldier” explode in my mind like a bomb
As you said, “We, Universal Soldiers, always must begin with the shape of peace table,
I wonder how many of us, to do something like that, will be able
Today the words of the so-called Knights of the Round Table seem to be in favor of peace
In fact, they sound like a cacophony of caprice
As you know, the Knights of the Round Table today are in power
Great majority of ordinary people get the news from a magazine cover
As you see, they aren’t like fully grown, ripe fruits sold at a greengrocer’s
How would we expect that great majority like that should be Universal Soldiers?
On the other hand, you said, “I hope you are old enough …”
Yes, I am, but at the bottom of a trouser leg
or at the end of shirt sleeves is my age a cuff
Old age is not a big problem for me
because I always set -as you do, in words- my spirit free
I would like to thank you for the inspiration with all my heart,
I believe shaping the peace table would never be so hard
My last words are:
“Even if I get older and older to a particular age
It is hard for me to reach the level of the mind of a sage”
And So Many Thanks ??
