It’s been a while since we’ve posted a poem here on Per.spec.tive; thanks, Jake for sending us this beauty.
Long Ago
Long ago, Bob Dylan wrote
The times, they may be different,
But the attitude’s the same.
Long ago, Shakespeare said
The world was all a stage,
But if that’s true, then (unlike characters)
Why can’t corpses age?
“I Dreamt a Dream! What can it mean?”
Wrote William Blake long ago,
The answer then, I could have seen,
For now, I just don’t know.
And now a quote from the mind of Walt Whitman,
“Yeah, Death, we bow our faces, veil our eyes to thee”,
Things have changed, time has changed,
And yet we still do not wish to see
“Heaven”- is what I cannot reach!”
A quote from a time when everything was harder,
And now, some hundred – and — ten years later,
We live in a world where we’re no smarter.
The last of the real poets,
They’ve all passed, we know.
But you will have to pardon me,
For I believe in long ago.
