A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.
Mark Twain

[Dragynn]

"Where people wish to attach, they should always be ignorant. To come with a well-informed mind is to come with an inability of administering to the vanity of others which a sensible person would always wish to avoid."
~Jane Austen

Colonel! Can you possibly imagine what is going to happen to you, your frame, outlook, way of life, and everything, when they learn that you have obstructed a telephone call to the President of the United States? Can you imagine?! Shoot it off! Shoot! With a gun! That's what the bullets are for, you twit!!

- Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake

“One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world was better for this."

~Don Quixote

...and they all said "Why are you even trying? What good can you possibly do
against the great fire with your tiny mouthfuls of water?".....

well i could have wrote a poem
but i potted plants instead
there is no revolution
if it's all inside your head

i could have wrote a rant
and garnered some applause
took the stage
in verbose rage
lip-service for "the cause"

I could have rushed the cafe`
spewing free-verse from my head
but the coffee-shops
don't grow no crops
and all the beans are dead

i could share a link on facebook
or be "activist" with a tweet
but even chickens know
mere words won't grow
anyone, anything to eat

well i could have printed up chapbooks
full of "real", "sincere", and "hurt"
but i chunked that style
in the compost pile
where at least, it'll make some dirt

i could have spun some records
told myself some pretty lies
but a hula hoop
it ain't worth poop
when it's time to fertilize

and I could have wrote a song or two
'bout how my heart's in pain
but that don't help drought
so i put out
some barrels to catch the rain

you can't call yourself a "humanist"
carryin' a phone that's made by slaves
and the fish all know
it's death you sow
when the oil is in the waves

if you want to be a warrior
and help to save the light
then stop the talk
start walkin' the walk
and FIX what's in your sight.

...and the hummingbird answered "It may not be much, but at least i'm doing something."
