I learn, too late, that day has been celebrated on World Poetry Day.
I have thousands of favorite poems, some of these dumped here.
could also hang a mine, but no.
hang what I have in hand.
And I find the most appropriate poem to celebrate the arrival of spring. All
a statement of intent.
CUSTOM
Go, my songs, the lonely and the unsatisfied, Go also
the neurotic, go to the slave of convention,
Bring My contempt for their oppressors.
Id like a huge wave of fresh water,
take my contempt for the oppressors.
Speak against unconscious oppression,
Speak against the tyranny of those who lack imagination,
Speak against bonds.
Go to the bourgeoise who dies boredom, id
women of suburbia. Id
the horribly married id
those that hide their failure,
the bad acompained id, id
wife bought,
id to the woman entailed. Id
those who have delicate lust id
sensitive to those whose desires are thwarted,
id like a plague on the stupidity of the world;
id with your edge against it, hard
the thin ropes,
Take confidence algae and the tentacles of the soul. Id
friendly way id
talking openly.
longed to find new evils and a new well,
Be opposed to all forms of oppression. Id
by the wizened old age,
those who have already lost interest in everything. Id
teens who drowned
family - oh, how frightening is
see three generations together under one roof!
is like an old tree with shoots
and rotten branches that fall.
Go out and defy public opinion.
Go against this vegetable bondage blood.
Be against all forms of inherited property.
Ezra Pound
