Some Poems

We find that after years of struggle we do not take a journey, but rather a journey takes us.
The fields were fruitful and starving men moved on the roads. The granaries were full and the children of the poor grew up rachitic.
One man was so mad at me that he ended his letter Beware. You will never get out of this world alive.
The new American finds his challenge and his love in the traffic-choked streets, skies nested in smog, choking with the acids of industry, the screech of rubber and houses leashed in against one another while the town lets wither a time and die.
If you're in trouble, or hurt or need -- go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help -- the only ones.
Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was a rare home that baked good bread in the old days. Mother's cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.
Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
I know three things will never be believed-the true, the probable, and the logical.
It would be absurd if we did not understand both angels and devils, since we invented them.
The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.
