Short Jack London Poems

In "Martin Eden" Jack London wrote"At the instant he knew he ceased to know"
I ask you - do you agree with that?
It is a powerful line even if you realize 
that you can "know" before you die 
Health and happiness to all readers of these words...

Black Wolf's brothers move
Always follow a safe guide
Trust in a strong leader for life
Just seek survival with pride
Now see more human greed
More dangers, no place to hide
Pollution rots where wolves feed
The ghost of Jack London tried
To repair the wolf's plight

Inspiration incites the inscence within that incarnates indigo indians.

I did not know what he ment until he followed up with:

When the wicked
winter storms hit 
New York City(and they are indeed wicked)
     I head out to shovel snow
The wind - blown snow and the cold
     makes me feel as 
if I was in a Jack London tale
     He wrote of the

He showed us how to survive

He ran for mayor three times
   Yesterday I saw one of hi books on sale
that I have never read
     I'll probably pick it up 
He told his story in writing
Now poets - tell yours!...

                                         Bought a cab in the oodle
                                             He fell on the ditch
                                            Hey that was a glitch
                                        The whole kit an' caboodle
