I Found This On BEN'S TEN, And It Needs To Be Shared Far And Wide . . .

Let's shout it from the rooftops!



THIS SANE IDEA
by Hafiz

Let your
Intelligence begin to rule
Whenever you sit with others
Using this sane idea:
Leave all your cocked guns in a field
Far from us,
One of those damn things
Might go
Off.


THE SAD GAME
by Hafiz

Blame
Keeps the sad game going.
It keeps stealing all your wealth–
Giving it to an imbecile with
No financial skills.
Dear one,
Wise
Up.
