[Oe List ...] Just Wanted to Share

[Milan Hamilton]

When I get depressed about what is going on in the world, I tend to write
poetry and song lyrics. I've been writing a lot of poetry lately. I am
attaching one I have been working on for about a week called Great
Expectations. I read it to my writing group today after which there was a
definite period of silence. No response either from Marvin, my MAGA
friend/nemesis on my right. It came out of a memory of a poem written by
Thich Nhat Hanh during the Vietnam war, which brought up thoughts of our
departed colleague Larry Ward.

The song came up because Linda has been after me to write singable lyrics
for some of our Song Book songs. It is called For Earth--For Life. The
lyrics are actually singable with the Tune Country Roads (aka All the Earth
Belongs to All). But I tried to get something still singable that wasn't
tied to the "good old songs" we all sang. So I just wanted to share these
with those who care. It can get lonely out there sometimes.
