Poem Artwork

Be not like Lambs or lamentable fools

see how the flock is diminished

by fear, lies, deception, treachery and treason.

Rise like Lions with fire in your hearts,

Cry, No More!

chase the Wolves from your doors

for now is the time to bring about a new age

of truth,  justice, compassion and reason.

 

P. Williams 2009

This is all the more auspicious considering the horrific outcome of this election.

Inspiration is especially appropriate at a time so bleak as this. You wish for all that is crowded out of the present and future. I wish us all strength and resolve. Thanks, Jan

a great & much needed hymn to the 'Lion of Spiritual' courage we all need and which is the true religion... "the Deceiver" would love us (artists in particular) to take a 'back seat' in life.
Thanks! Later, michael

Let it be--good sentiments, indeed, and equally good poem.

Oh that it be so.
That people could focus
on anything other than their own
survival and star. A clarion call
to arms here. I'm standing with Truth.
Blessings ...

ello, ello, ello.... I see that much amarula has flowed under the Humber bridge since we last caroused in Brissol all those years' ago... I have much catching up to do and your new-look biog will be a great place to start: DON'T you look way cool!? :)) Glad to see the old Williams' Wordsmithing is still good on the anvil and creating fine sparks. Hubble bubble toil and trouble; beware the Ides of Lupus and Mars and Arise! Great rallying cry that many a northern footie team or international rugby team could adopt as their very own. Nice to see you round the block once more... xx
