Jonathan Dower

That’s neither here nor there,
Said the walrus to the hare.

You stand and face the limitless truth
A turning ideal, of harmony and grace
Yet to undermine your self-esteem
I must make you see
It’s not what it seems
Why dawdle and waste
What time we…

Rising away from the falling world
Turn as one, as nobody
At all, away
To think and plan
And possibly scheme
To wait and see
Better days and better worlds.

I sharpen my sword
On the whetstone of my old blunt life
To take a leap
Into uncharted worlds,
Of hope and chance,
Of truth, no more lies,
To tell you things;
To say words that were once…
