unto the newly borne..
pain is a teacher
and love a healer
guilt be a killer
and mercy, a survivor
death--a deliverance while
hope stands continuance...
of these things, our
lives are made.

Yep this definitely feels and reads like a song with a lovely pace and rhythm to it. Nice one. I am a big fan of E.C. I have seen him twice over the year's and he never disappoints. Great poem ell.

Thanks to all for your mighty generous comments. It's a great song, David, and made for good listening on a long drive..and you're right--the horn is exquisite.

'Majesty' need not be elaborate, just simply true, and truly simple. Put this in your own wallet to have it with you always. It's that special.
i agree with david, very 'reprogram unit' and 1984. wonderful lilt to the whole piece as well. great stuff.

I would definitely call them prisons..quite a depressing thought but there's no getting out of it until the big sleep. I was thinking about your comment while getting cleaned up this morning and it seems to me that societal institutions seek either to harness, overcome, or destroy..I suppose that's the prison we're born into.
Thanks for your comments, David.

I'm envious, Martin..he's a quite interesting character who's nothing if not intelligent.
Thank you, sir, for your comments.
