Should we not blow upon the Olympic Flame?
B'Ching 2'08
I don't know why people
Think the Olympics is any good
For changing the world.
I remember when we had
A car accident. That changed
The world; but we got along
Without thinking about it
Very much. Very much I
Wonder why sending two seventy
Year olds to fry in the pan, out
Of the fire, for 12 months, 'coz
They chose to perspire on down to
The Heavenly Court of Applications
For an Official Permit to Protest
In an Officially Designated Protest
Area against the Beijing Olympics
Is indicative of Change in
The world. Then I remember
That car accident. I do not forget
I don't know why people do
Not always come to a full stop
At the right time. I cannot.
Believe the Olympics is Any good.
=========================
[It was reported two seventy year old women were sentenced to 12 months re-education in a labour camp for applying for a Protest Permit, as above stated, their reason being they were evicted from their homes to make way for it. An exceptional Olympics? No: friends of mine in Sydney suffered a similar fate, evicted from homes their landlords willed to rent out for exhorbitant rents in the time period of the 2000 Games, "the Best Ever!!".]

Small but by some stretch of
Imagination allowed
To be seen as fit good,
Just as should failure to
Steal light for a lifeless
Liberty to behold
Until the lore dies out.

$1 A Day
The guy starving, often enough, away
In Africa, living on one dollar
A day, lives that way because Westies say
Both should live that way, overall. What’s more,
Westerners tend to, lamely, blame those they
Plunder to assure themselves an easy
Life, taking 60%, still, today,
So I’m told, with 20% for they
Who play according to West’s game plan,
The chosen few, and 20% for
The rest, starving often, enough. The man
Who survives on water and very poor
Food lives an existence which is rude, crude,
Stewed, more than tempted to intrude, interlude
Of rapine and opportunity we,
As Westerners, and now Easterners too,
Encourage with tools of war which will do
Maximum damage to those locally
Living, surviving, in service which we
See, often enough not, in the West, to
Be internecine warfare, and caused through
No fault of the Westies. Reality
Check, as they say in the U.S. of A.,
And one sees rich and poor and very poor
There also. What’s more, were there no war in poor
Africa, those there could afford a way
Of life wherein they thrive well enough for
Themselves and build up from a central core
To a level more or less close to that
The author enjoys among the Westies,
Viz: poor of the rich. Probably twice what
He indulges his self on, steadily
And securely. So, were moderately
Living, by no means deprived, enjoyed by
Most, humanity might coast forward, free
Of unnecessary conflict. To try
This thesis in summary on the
Whetstone of truth, Indulgent West + Poor
Afrique = weak ethical bases
For action whose only attraction for
Both parties: perpetual war and weak
Bases for further action one could seek
In moderated wealth (note I say not
Moderate), more than sufficient health and
Length of days which plays, like a record, not
Backwards, but in the groove, towards an end
Equally well to be depended on.

0: A sequence of three near sonnets, of Shakespearean-Petrarchan-Shakespearean style, with the beginning of a further Shakespearean.
1: “60% of the world’s wealth is controlled by 6% of the world’s population.”
2: “60% of Australia’s wealth is controlled by 6% of Australia’s population.”
3: “6% of the world’s population live in the United States of America.”
4: “60% of the GDP of Africa is expropriated to use in other continents”.
5: “10% of the world’s wealth is controlled by 1% of the world’s population”,
This last being an approximation: lately it has increased from 8%+ to 9%+,
and rising.
6: “10% of 60% is 6%”.
7: “Westies” is what East Berliners termed those who lived in West Germany, but
here used to indicate anyone living in the West (sic).

A taste of enlightenment which they call

Ambition, purpose, humanity, divinity,
In a word, as well as, gymnastic satisfaction
Of more subtle psychic attraction from base

Warming emotional frisson to soul felt ace,

3 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoA critique of Western philosophy, circa 1904 - 2007, in the form of a poem. Comments?
Need For Lacuna
No philosophy is sufficiemt
To deal with the problems of the modern

No philosophy were needed by them

A summary effort, execution
If you will, of the has-been, and then more
Strenuous, and appropriate, action
Be ta’en in light of modern requirements,
Such as going beyond the mechanics
Of Newton and God to the dynamics
Of Einstein and Man; also, uncertainties
Of Pauli and Heisenberg and a past
Done and gone. But they went wrong: will, at last,
They go right, to Relativity at
Least, which be certainly truthful if not
A TOE, which be not,
As Gödel clearly stated, and Hawkings,
Belatedly, admits is overrated by
Intelligence which overestimated “Why?”
And “How?”, and now underestimates We
Who, all too clearly, be coming to see a need for.
==============================
0: An extended sonnet, from the Shakespearean to
an increasingly uncertain, if not totally irregular, form.
1: TOE – Theory Of Everything. “No such animal exists.”,
as Churchill famously said (I am uncertain it was him).
2: Regarding Gödel’s Theorem, “Gödel, Escher, Bach”
by Douglas Hoffstadter is well-worthy of recommendation.
3: Newton conceived of the Universe as mechanical and
ultimately predictable, a secular teleologistic.
4: Einstein famously said he did not believe God played with
dice. He made no mention of human beings.
5: Of Pauli, Heisenberg and Stephen Hawkings, it is left to the
reader’s initiative to find reference thereto.

A Gentleman Never
What is in front of me in the way
Of support and love, she had cried
As I had gathered her up in
My arms before her family,
And I on my way to the charms
Of a waiting, more than willing,
Wench, and she pouring forth that which
Could but wrench, like a sabre strung
Under a whole piano bench,
Tug at heart strings already set
Out to both her, in amour, yet
Also to another in fresh, wet,
We shall not forget amorous
Loving, and that amour balked as
She by her family which did
Not support her in that way, our
Way, nor, as she now wept to say,
In many another: and I,
Wanting to fly to another
Awaiting already, felt her
In a need such that should my heart
Bleed at all as it pumped air to
My lungs and brain, should I not stop,
Help and give all, all self-respect
Should in future fall, crumble as
Even now did she, seeing as
Her family, indifferent,
Revealed truth in place of support,
Mutual non-aggression pact,
In place of love, alliance and
She, knowing the truth of her, learned
In reality of growing
Among such and within her sought
Now, for reasons I knew not, for
All her pourings forth, to delay
Me on my way, to tell me, tell
Someone, tell herself, tell them, how
It really is in an ice land
Of alliance and betrayal
Of alliance as I gathered
Her up into my arms, her spine
Melted as a glucose snake on
The bitumen on a sunny
Day, her muscles like jelly, her
Soul one of love in hell he knew
And knew not, her voice one which could
Never be forgot but only
Ignored, abjured, used to inure
One’s self to voices like that, pure
In strangulation, in drownings’
Peak experience when dawnings
Of an end to all, of all, rise
And in hurried surprise the mind
Races the brain to say, she said
What is in front of me by way
Of love and support, and I caught
Her sister’s eye, her sister’s dress
Of blue caught my eye, and the caress,
Almost like the eye of a carcass,
As her sister’s eye crossed mine eye
As I gathered her up, to follow
Her instruct as to where she would
Go now, now she and they and I did
Know of afore said torrential flows,
I not knowing, I suppose, truths
Of many prospects and problems she
Did pose, only the tips of icebergs, I
Suppose, nor if, in the heat of the moments
In which I gathered her into my
Arms, and despaired to neglect
Another’s charm and wilfull wenchiness,
And she felt her soul’s water melting for
Perhaps the first time ever, what her
Will would bring in the cool of evening
Would not simply chill her to the bones,
Still all free tropical glacier flowings
To an arctic circle’s stowing once again
Of water, useless to the hoeing of honest,
Earthy gardeners, and I useless
Once again in the face of a family
Which could but see alliance and potential
Aggression between she and me to be
To be the only prospect for a felt love
Abjured in me, inured for me, pure
And purely strangled by me, entangled
In its welling and her truth and the truths
I could not ignore in her raisings
From the floor and my risings to once
More her already amourous, my desire
Clamourous, my heart doubly amourous,
Yet in two too many ways. And that stays
Tearing within me, even as she once was
Tearing without me, even as she once was
Daring without me, even as I once was
Daring within me, even as I once was
Caring within me, even as they once were
Unsharing without her, even as they once were
Uncaring within her spheres of concern
Which it seems, in the end, we were all
Too late to learn. But then, after the end,
A gentleman never tells, they say, and
Of that day’s end the poet now dares
To tear his cares to be unsharing.
