    our quiet blanket

    clear the air for me its to thick with disgust
    and self hatred
    or if not this
    then delusional self engrandizment
    give it up for lent this dross of egoism
    but onward do we wage in contortions of angry lie
    come my fair maidens of honor
    come bath in the oil of life
    come children look at those poor dead doves of peace
    they are the stumbling blocks to freedom

    do you really care
    have you had your fair share
    is enough come to the kingdom
    and has the mighty yet made its mark

    my pretty little flag waver
    my silent little hater

    do you really want to clear the air
    of whats become the greatest pink elephant
    nobody admits is there

    the earth is a tomb for the ignorent it seems
    and whats left of loves host are but caretakers of fading memories
    like so many names on a war monument

    in the end nothing rhymes with war
    except the silence of space

    our quiet blanket of endless liberation

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
