As I Looked North One March

                                                                                     

Three  resplendent  robins

Sat on my

Neighbor's lawn.

The time was

Half-past noon-day sun

(A good while after dawn).

They scurried up to branches

And danced around with glee,

I swore I spied a secret smile

That swirled about that tree.

One of them alighted

And motioned to the rest,

"Spring's around the corner, boys...

Get going !  Go get dressed ! "

 

Their cries alerted groundhogs,

And one peered 'neath

My deck...

There was no sign

Of Spring in 'there';

It muttered,

"What the heck? ! ?"

A grey squirrel

Scales my silver pine,

Two black cats saunter by...

I heard a whisper in the wind:

Spring tiptoes in the sky...

MARCH: from mousy to "BEWARE!"

                                                                                    

The mousy month of

March (today)

Came waltzing to

My door...

I checked the bolts

And they were slack;

This chilled me

To my core...

In two scant weeks

The Ides descend

  As senates settle scores ...

A dagger was drawn

44 BC

And Caesar was

 

"NO MORE"

poem by L.P.-G. / 3/2023

It seeks only RATIONAL ways of solving human problems:

                        What is humanism?

Humanism is a democratic and ethical life stance, which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives.

                                       It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethic based on human and other natural values in the spirit of reason and free inquiry through human capabilities.

        

It is not theistic, and it does not accept supernatural views of reality.

Due to their innately enlightened minds, a true humanist would never adopt an assault weapon as a national symbol... a pity to those whose mental stance has never adequately evolved, as they recently embraced such folly...

"This" type of boxcar

Does not grace a train;

Nor ship-dock, nor factory,

Nor school yard or plane...

In fact, it's 'bout numbers,

[And two are the same!]

A roll of the die

Should make it quite plain !!
