My Memory of Wild Culture
Pilgrims of pain
Made Wild by Culture
The stony path longer
The mountain steeper
Respite fleets us by
Chasms of creativity
Ladders for learning
Slipping on the rungs
Broken I fell
Will anyone throw me a rope?
I need to climb out
To pitch my tent
A haven for us
For you for me
For them for we
Together from the Wilds
We will bring forth this Culture
Imagine my dear
Laugh do not fear
Adverse reversed
Sponsored perverse
Melding our methods
Rhyming our reason
No sense in this season
Fall fell in despair
Winter was harsh
No fires there to warm us
Carbon reminds this
In storms and in rain
Deluge and downpour
Floods rivers of tears
We come through it all
With rapid hearts
With love for each other
Dysfunction the party
For disparate people
Invited and open
Expressive emotional
Irretrievable irrational
Beautifully balanced
Wild is a battle
Forces of nurture
Nature is tempered
Resultant a Culture?
Or is it a Vulture?
