[bodytext] => Epiphany... a golden nugget... a pearl of great price: Those who suffer in our midst, those who starve, those who we execute, those we cage like animals, the children who are made orphans, mothers who are made widows, the bag ladies within our burgeoning cities, those who are mutilated by our wars, those who must live hand to mouth, the malnourished belly-bloated fly infested innocent; these are the Christs of modern society. In truth, these have been the Christs in all societies throughout history. Bob Dylan's first enduring hit, Blowin' In the Wind, unimpeachably spoke to this Truth. Zimmy has struggled with this Truth throughout his living days. I pray he lives long enough to learn what history has struggled to teach. These among us must suffer so as to teach all others. These must endure intolerable anguish so the eyes of others may be opened; the many must die so those who live can be given the opportunity to simply learn. To date, mankind has earned an F-! We have failed. Those among us who have and are suffering are deserving of an A+++! The mind of man is incredibly resistant to that which produces wisdom. Mankind goes through extraordinary contortions to laud itself for its vain storehouse of knowledge, but for all enduring purposes, mankind is stupid; mankind is the narcissistic fool; mankind is a worshipper of naked emperors. For Scrooge, there was enough time to change. It is unlikely we will be so fortunate.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
