when viewing Facts in sealed cement:]

Out of sight and mind;
But now we see on our tv
The worst of humankind.

Dharma Gateway
Death, existence, come and go,
Like a tidal undertow…
Waves that toss us, winds that blow,
Raging storms and biting snow,
Hunger, anger, joy, and woe,
Hellish heat with burning glow…

Quibble bookish quid pro quo.

On doleful dingoes dire dilemmas do descend?
Effete elephants eschew jumping, it's ungraceful;
"Frenching" frogs will...
