A Reflection Upon Rage

February 25, 2018February 28, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

In the face of rage
We need to face each other
The birds sing for all

With so much rage, how do we grow and nurture, especially the “others”?

Such wretched sadness
Pained hearts and tears aplenty
Cold rain falling now

Horrible News

December 19, 2017December 19, 2017 Carl Setzer1 Comment

Early in the day
Witnessing such suffering
A surreal day


 

The Amtrak derailment about 60 miles south of me dominated the news, and my awareness yesterday.

For Tom Petty 

October 3, 2017 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

At first, resistance

Everyone I knew 

Adores all those tunes 

Which , in my mind

Trite, vacant, and “No”

Glad to say that’s wrong

Gritty dissonance

Akin to Dylan

The honest seeking

Within his lyrics

Brought out the sunlight

In this darkened world

They mesmerize us
Pictures of carnage, strife.
Cherry blossoms fall
