Quoted in the Grove*
The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you.
~Elie Wiesel
Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
~George Orwell
If only each generation would realise that the time for greatness is right now when they’re alive … the time to flower is now.
~Patti Smith

Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.

~BarTalk:
beauty’s beast
lithesome and lovely
skin of pale ivory
language full flowery
winsome for larceny
locked up in pillory

Savaged
Pilloried for prostitution
Pilloried for truth
Pilloried for opinion
And too long in the tooth
Pilloried for being black
Pilloried For being poor
Pilloried for being Hillary
Pilloried and shown the door
~
Cheers!
Pilloried for a willingness to sin some
For being too cute, too jolly and winsome
For braving with conscience and then some
For celebrating too much with the punch rum
So let’s have one
~
High Finance
Win some bouts and lose some
Grow some balls with hair
Graduate to gruesome
Play of game ruled unfair
Pilloried in the news, some

Nu Skewl
It’s no longer about your ABCs
Heredity is inscribed in genes

To win some science prize today
Learn to script in DNA

winsome smiles, sharp teeth
watch politics pilloried
tonight on the news

hell’s hot pillory
winsome words from the pulpit
claim to be the key
