    The Midnight Hour

     As midnight approaches
    I hear the cry of the hopeless

    Crying of what they need in life
    Dying of their stress and strife

    Conflict pursues them endlessly
    And the only one that can help is me

    A star gaze is all I have to fight
    A gaze so strong and full of might

    It rips through the edge of tonight
    Giving me a divine light so bright

    Dreaming of a seemingly endless war
    I find myself just as confused as before

    I could never find what the hopeless needed
    I could never find a means in which to feed it

    I can’t feed the different creeds
    I can’t find the giving tree

    A tree which bares but one fruit 
    A tree which bares only the truth

    The truth of the hopeless
    A truth in which approaches

    It approaches only the cowards
    Upon the gaping midnight hour

    I like this poem a lot. And yes, the time is approaching. About 3 and a half years from now?

    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.
