Poem from a fool

[lazariuk]

his dance could join
the whore of the beast of babylon
and the crucified offspring of Ruth
by telling his story
and playing some music
and letting it rhyme with the truth
and the dance was on a landscape
showered by the sweetest rain
a drink for the thirsty heart
a holocaust for the profane

Poem from a fool

A 'fool' for hope?

Perhaps that concert really could take place. But would the unity only exist for a night?

Presenting this idea via a poem is lovely in itself, Jack.

I am thinking long term and not just a night

Long live the meek.

I got to thinking about a movie from a couple of years ago, 'The Lives of Others'. It had it's flaws, but the basic premise was that art can be a transforming power, one which can reaffirm our humanity. If you (or any others reading this thread) did not see the movie, here's a link to the website
