Men Talk Poetry - October/November 2001

2001 9 11 "Bomb them back to the stone age" Back to the third world. Back to the sticks and stone age... were the cries. The "third world" war is already being fought with sticks and stones and knives... and lives. US versus them. Goliath versus David Who is with us? Which side are you on? Six billion cells in the human brain Six billion selves... crying for attention. Crying to voice a song, a poem, a culture. Live birth into a primal rage... headlong. Left brain versus right, thought against fought Six billion, one mind, a cry... Salaam. © 2001, Bill Dobbs
