Our Father Who Art Thou
JOB - 7:9 Ask the former generations and find out what their fathers learned...will they not instruct you and tell you?
Sitting alone
on Lake Geneva's shore
I mourn the hour
and watch the birds.
Shivering in the cold
I mourn the silence.
Old men and snow,
another picture show.
Speak to me of Plato,
oh father of Wisdom.
Hemingway shot himself,
but Dante survived.
"Save me!" you cry,
"I want to die."
A Savior screams back at you:
SURVIVE! SURVIVE!
