home Poem List next poem Living Space For Whom Living space, this ancient call to arms Hunting for somewhere to lay ones tired head Is not what was sought by space thru their charms Rather the source of dictates for lives led By those who claimed their heritage in need Of types of reason they would parallel Were they to live beneath flags of that steed Which powers their culture based carousel On course, many canoes tact in life's stream Paddles are held by hands of many skills Weavers strengthen fabric with reason's seam Holding together fields of views through wills Paths set by fathers buried long ago Guide souls in many structured ponderings Creating being types sharing that flow Known as time for hisory's wanderings Some treks cut across races in armed peace Such men of war may proffer hope to lands Few in number as winds might find release Sweeping casual thought's quieted demands Hunting hatred in whose shadowed cadence Remnants would remark some seeds should remain To seek moments of such redemption whence Their hatred conquers their need to retrain (c)ERA 03:15 AM 2/16/03
