as goodness knows

and should you
say
because it’s
true
to think
out by the world
that I am trying to feed me
and trying to
feed
these and
don’t have time then
for philosophy

nothing but blindering need

well
a larger we than us
lets this happen and for the evil
even
sometimes someone takes
as an abysmal sign of triumph

but
each one should be whole
in spirit
with
encouragement and help
for the body

so there

first and finally
the desire to be good
if
there are challenges to action

be good

and now it’s fall to the north, spring to the south
