Socrates Blues Poem by David DeSantis

Socrates Blues



I'm here...

thinking
of all the reasons,

that on a daily basis I find reason
to make an excuse.

And I wonder why
at 23
I can't do instead of think.

Today on the news-
Palin and Pigs
Georgia and War
Fuel and Fire,

All distractions
from where you are-
lost in the passion that you could have
but do not know,
because what you do know
is to think
while others act.

What
an absurd,
thought driven,
ego maniacal,
a.d.d.
laden cowboy you are.

Dear David Thinking is a subtle form of doing Your thoughts affect all as they spread out in to the noosphere

Yes.. but you do it so well... 'e-go by the grace of god.. (and 'ha ha' often) .... and enjoy reading about it.. your deep thinking smells like roses.. and did someone mention there is an election?

one with great sensitivity though David - and that must rationalise to something. There is always less mess to clean up after precipitate thinking! Rgds, Ivan
