Never To Rest

I’m a Poet….

don’t try to trap me with words

or with logic you don’t understand

 

With your barrister’s training

you’re out of your league

this arena beyond your command

 

In some ways

I’ve already said it all

but never in the form you approve

 

Or with comforting platitudes

lining your shell

as pontification behooves

 

The slick easy answers

unfit for a Sage

but the pundit and liars attest

 

My message as spoken

comes at great cost

—your conscience never to rest

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)
