I support this change because it heralds a beautiful and healed future

.... Just Walk On Them ....

The New Age has come...
One by one the one's who are Called,
unknown to themselves,
think and work and speak and act
in complementary patterns ....
Thread by thread upon the Loom is threaded.
Weaves into the silent strength that gathers.
Unseen millions join.
Gentle links, subtle links,
forging gentle souls together.
Selves transformed -
Together... and in isolation.
Deep and firm these roots take root.
Reaching for God, for each other -
to give and take and share and grow ....
To flow into a Wholesomeness
where memories of baser times just fade...
Come, ye Repairers of the Breach -
Restore the Paths long forgotten -
.... just walk on them ....

I Want Poetry To Be The Moving

from Jorge L.    Feb 10, 2007

Poets use to be the driving force in American culture, they were not only artists but stars in their own right, "e.e. cummings," Robert Frost, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, poets were a symbol of the times, they defined a generation, they were the premier social event on which history was told, the art of poetry use to ride on a grandeur scale, poetry book publishings were more abundant before than they are today, there needs to be a new modern poetry movement like the metaphysical or neo-classical or beat periods, i want poetry to define the culture that it inhabits, for poetry to generate a buzz once again, let's see a whole new age of poets young and old, bringing the world together one line at a time.
