History:
I conjoined many of these aphorisms while publishing the "The Monthly
Poet's Voice", a poetry sheet issued monthly under the auspices of
"VoicesIsrael, Group of Poets in English"
Others, sudden inspiration during conversations.....
| "Let there be light!" The great amount of darkness left behind seems
too much for "Homo sapiens" to handle successfully. |
| You can only take into the future
your experiences from the past. |
He who walks in fear of dying
Leads a life diminished
He who walks in fear of life
Dies a thousand times a day |
| The World owes you nothing! Give to the world a free smile, your reward
will be ten-fold. |
| "There is a time for war, and time for peace." I cannot foresee the
time for peace in our world, for not logic, but opposing beliefs are at
work. My heart bids me pray that "not war" will prevail for us. My mind
tells me otherwise. |
no title is Good: Bullets fly cheap
Carcasses in a heap
Prayer and songs Lost in the calls
Of too many gods. |
Paradox: Philosophy- an attempt in words to encompass
the whole of existence.
If so, then the whole of poetry must encompass the whole of philosophy. |
The New Year for Festivals, reflections on our own deeds during the
past year, culminates in prayers asking for God’s forgiveness. My prayer
is -
"write me as one who loves his fellow men." (Leigh Hunt, ‘Abou Ben
Adhem.) |
| The World of Law defends the accused. Too often it is at the expense
of the victim. But why, why should it be at the expense of future victims
also? |
| The problem isn't our past. It's
making our past problems our future. |
