THIS IS ONE OF MY VERY BEST POEMS (MY OPINION) AND I REQUEST, NAY, IMPLORE, NAY, BEG you to read it. Have your shovel handy. bri ;)
This is a great poem my friend Sad that your digging will ne'er end There is much truth in what you said For man was born with sins inlaid Thanks Bri
Hi Bri, I really dig this Hole. Or maybe I should say- -I really dig this whole....verse. An awesome extended metaphor.
What a wonderful idea! ! Digging a hole like a mole to bury the woes of the world! A true Xavier! Though it was a failure the effort is worth the trouble and needs to be applauded! I'd throw mounds of dirt to every side, making room for murder, greed, and rape. But the more I dug, the more I found to hide: thievery; drug abuse; too much ‘red tape' This is not merely a hilarious, farcical write, but there is much truth in these lines and great wisdom
Yet another poet (and friend) who fled PH a coupld of years ago, after the 'changes'. ; ( bri
Clever words of wisdom but the holes well we all see a landscape of craters when we look back over our history all we can do is try and avoid the land mines and hope the next generation do a better job than we. Great write and as always an interesting slice of the life of Bri
I meant to say GOOD luck, but since you are an atheist, maybe GOD luck is what you need!
Thank You Readers/commenters? and also to PH to give me space to unload myself a bit. : ) bri
