Necessity

I need some Poetry tonight, To help me carry out The deep fight of survival, Not in ways belligerent or tribal, But more so to distinguish History's great arrivals, Those treasures that thru Art, Have paved the way for Civilization's Truly great idols. I need some Poetry tonight So that in my desperate furor I not forget that Love Is a surer bet than Hate, So that I remember that human fate, Is in the hands of the torch bearers That can illuminate creative paths That befriend all creators, So that I can believe that life Is not always sad But sometimes lies silently clad In the somber caves of the past Waiting for some talented soul To perhaps discover, The hidden meaning of it All.
