THE LAUGHTER LIT FACE OF GOD

           
                                   

• Never forget your proud and wild soul
• Though pedestrian paupers beg to spoil
• Your wild infancy and  native good
• Heed not their feeble tyranny and live
• For they're stiff painted angels, fool's gold
• Silent forms that once held life's force
• Poetry, music, all art and philosophy
• Lost to their romance with expediency
• The true laughter lit face of god
•  Obscured behind a mask of sobriety
• Birds whose atrophied wings cannot fly
• Hate most of all those who highest soar
•
