the Tibetan metaphor

[sweetwater]

in the practise of being positive hopeful and optimistic
in the spirit of peace and kindness
the paradox of Tibetan independence
as a government in exile
in the non violent struggle
for autonomy

and having peaceful nations
observe the rights and freedoms
of an occupied people
for independence

while doing business with occupiers
where the larger constituency
determines the conditions
of everything else

in the practise of art and hospitality
in the non violent struggle of ourselves
we are determined by an obstinate force
and bullied into an intellectualism
that deciphers value according
to a balance sheet

the human condition
and the element of greed
where the occupied territories
are returned to assume
an historical precedent
and a planet that we have never seen

the Tibetan metaphor
is a great intellectual curiosity
and a self reflective realization
of our weaknesses and of our strength

the comment of not being one

well done!

i'm not overly fond of comments anyway
not unless they sing glorious praises

can't stand criticism - yuk

Sweetwater I am so grateful that you took my blank text box reply in the spirit in which it was meant.

I have made the same blank textbox reply to nazz when he dazzles with brilliance.

Sometimes I think of Studio Eight as an asylum for the terminally vain.
