            THE MODERN NATION

        Millions 
        thrashing the white waters
        of civilization,
        categorizing brothers,
        forcing others into
        theoretical, theological
        boxes of mind.

        Majority
        erodition-blind,
        non-transcendent,
        unaccountable,
        interdependent.

        Myriads of
        self-made cynics,
        closeted in clinics,
        unable to sing.

        Minority
        unable to bring
        truth to light.

            -- Delma Luben

categorizing brothers... stereotyping...so incredibly sad, yet we all do it in our own way...without even really thinking about it.

But, Delma, that minority must continue to try.
Good poem. - Gene.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
