    Poem Commentary

    Could we not find a way to communicate? Is war inevitable in our time, can forgiveness not be redeemed or is this our appointed round to endure?

    The Battle of Friendship

       THE BATTLE OF FRIENDSHIP
     
    I pray we don't meet in a battle
       of winter,
    Instead I pray it is the life of
       spring better the heat of summer.
    But if it is the battle of winter
        my camp I will not share
        warmth and food you'll find not
        there.

    And if you call me friend
        I'll be forever foe
    For if we meet in a battle of
        winter
    Your body a guest will the earth
        hold.
     
     
    It is better I say we meet
    in the battle of summer
    and that the heat of love will
    hold til winter not be seen.

    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.
