Stand Walk - the best advice that I've heard in a long time - especially these days.

Yes, it is certain is it not that to stand, and remain standing, while others around you prostrate themselves to this or that clearly conceived god / icon / idol for some inconceivably unclear purposeful reason so unreasonably advocated or articluated by any number of media moguls is to take a stand that, while at times unpopular and insupportable, remains nonethess something worth walking any number of miles in any number of worthy people's shoes just for the empathic flow of understanding that leads to what "remains [of] the Is of belief". Not that that is is teleological or predestined or part of some divine ultimate plan, and not that it might well be at that, but just because it is, and we are, and we always will be able to stand walking or walk standing. This poem is a bit of a tell for "teleology" though, because is is is forever, isn't it?

Odin, this piece is quite evocative of Diogenes and Alexander perhaps with a minor variation, but still correlates to Diogenes reply "stand out of my light," the Greek philosopher of Sinope, when Alexander the Great came to visit and Alexander wanted to fulfill a wish for Diogenes. Alexander was so struck by Diogenes answer that he replied, "But truly, if I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes." Interpretation by others, that be the cowards regard such people as enemies. So, the subject matter 'Stand Walk,' perhaps embellished with "stand a little out of my sun." You do shine bright, poet. A lengthy, professional review expounded on this writer's work is deserving of this poetry. Thank you.
