POETRY IS:

Poetry is where love goes
when no one wants it.

Poetry sings about plowing,
or smoothing
or planting
or harvesting;
but seldom sings about
"leaving be."

Poetry is remembering yesterday.
Poetry is dreaming tomorrow,
Poetry is complaining,
and cheering,
and cussing,
and poetry is about what should be done,
and when,
and where,
and why no one is...
or does.

But...
now never calls for poetry
until then is past here.

People know something is missing;
they wonder where love went;
They don't understand:

Poetry is much like air.

You can't breath out
without first breathing in.

Two Essays on Esthetics by Jim Lyle



What Orwell feared were those who would ban books.
What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book,
for there would be no one who wanted to read one. . .
Orwell feared the truth would be concealed from us,
Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.
In 1984. . . people are controlled by inflicting pain,
in Brave New World they are controlled by inflicting pleasure.
In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us.
Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us. - Neil Postman
