Self-help books state “Start on things you
dislike and get it over and done with”, I tried
this morning, starting with my production sheet,
immediately overwhelmed by a headache so
big, you could wage Word War III with it
To continue means tightening in tension, hating
the world - I love bureaucracy, the best way to
waste one’s time and get paid, but to actually
type these inane reports makes me furious -
I’d rather read explanations by great poets
And latter-day prophets about what the guiding ideal
for today’s society should be, what contemporary
morality and thinking entails, given that I have an
eclectic system myself, incorporating any ideal
that appeals to my sense of harmony
Contributing to respect, tolerance and freedom, given
that some poets claim the dream of forgiveness and
love is irrelevant, I’d love to know what they would
regard as the guiding light for today…
