"there is no such thing as the state
and noone exists alone;
hunger leaves no choice
to the citizen or the police;
we must love one another- or die."
-W.H.Auden
[auden, of that peculiar middle generation "bracketed between the two World Wars" had so much to say: about the world, against anarchy. He, in very many ways, still holds relevane today.
a host of moderen, real poets with solid, didactic poems coming our way in literature. they are all thought (and fear) provoking,
and still u.p.l.i.f.t.i.n.g.
in their assurance that there are people speaking out, affirming f.a.i.t.h.
that there are people speaking of love, not money;
and that there are people not afraid to s.p.e.a.k.
and not afraid to p.o.l.i.t.i.c.i.z.e.
for,
if they were afraid,
we would really have no voice.

to those you know and love.
one more person convinced
of love,
against violence
