the Kingdom of Leisure

Arts & Letters Daily - ideas, criticism, debate



So ephemeris is simple

and coverture is hard

But contrary to the old

is-the-root-is-all-evil moral

money is everything



Unions taken as measures

of vanity appeasement

are destined to confuse

the naive and the simple

amongst the hordes



Some work some sacrifice to

thus earn their leisurely entertainment

both free and not -

values internalized from lessons learned

minds wide open from birth



Without spirituality

confidence and imagination lapse

And no bid buys peace

We bear our responsibilities

to ourselves to each other



Unfortunately our heavens

only exist in the fairy tales of

whiny baby minds

Friendship among earthlings

and the Earth is unconditional
