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 ??
