A Realists Eulogy For Idealists


How do the possibilities remain impossible?
There is so much light and love in the beginning.
The inferno consumed into glowing embers.
Who would have thought that this monkey wrench thrown into the gears of the machine could become mangled so quickly?
That monkey wrench seemed so invincible, that machine so vulnerable.
These decisions get wrapped like a stone around your heart tossed into the depths, falling away from the surface, falling away from the light and the warmth of the sun.
In the end there is no blame, only responsibility.
When this righteous anger is past due and spoils to turn to bitterness, it will make complete sense to turn your back on the beauty of what could be.
Your strength turned against you so the fight is within you and the struggle is without you.
The failures of idealism piled up like dead bodies and the reasons are excuses dressed as wisdom and wisdom is a realists eulogy written for idealists.

No One Speaks Of Love Anymore

The Language Of Love by vagabond ©

The language of love is in action.
No one speaks of love anymore.
It’s syntax replaced with at worst, casual indifference and at best, a grudging tolerance.
A new vocabulary is needed and only insurrection will bring it.
In this unwritten future love will lead the revolution.
The barricades will go pushed over.
The walls returned to dust.
The borders will go ignored.
The authority of these impediments will go unrecognized.
There will be no keeping love in… or out.

“It is better to travel well than to arrive.” – Buddah

THE MIND
Each of us a puzzle piece
searching to find a place to fit,
but no place exists.
The belonging is in perspective
and the perspective is in the world
and the world is in the wandering.

THE BODY
i can’t feel the god in me
and i am a stranger to myself.
if i could see the god in you
i would once again know who i am.

THE SPIRIT
god is not in heaven.
You won’t find her
in the sky
between the satellites and the stars.
god is fractured among us.
