Power Again
July 21, 1992
I used to think I was strong ��
I know different now
all resides in will
with the world so big and I ��m so small
can what I do amount to anything
I know
Gandhi seemed like a god to me
little walnut man
but I ��ve wondered is the world real
seemed so for a while
but chaos or chess, circumstance or action
all the hatred those among us will try to fight
and the get killed in the end
make a shorter impression
then gone
trapped in the winner ��s history
amber more subtle than from trees
and is the world a real place
ideals, laws, and governance
this cannot be so amidst lawlessness
so amidst my craven peace
n ��er peace to those I crave
what then �� is my place
to covet and dine in my own little clover
and I wonder is my corner phantasm
the world real and I wondering, law, do I exist
and if I die, does my nothing matter
ready to give up on the natter, game and now and then
the world is hurting so many, cruel old world
rolled over in my mind
and brother the chaos is better to me
I hate the world of is today
see no possible victory
and me, I ��m one of the little ones
people of whom the world questions
little people, little cruelty, madness
little poverty, dying along the rat ��s swift race
and I could be Gandhi again
anyone could be him, begin �� in madness most assured
vision lacked, most will alack, awoe, aday and so ��
the convent has retreated thorough
and I order all I believe as true
and madden my madness, make it so
in a world not made for understanding
guessed at �� everything guessed these days
I see no way to win, nor wean from our destruction
I can only let tears fall where they will
given to the memory
and Gandhi, he ��s thirty years gone to the grave
O heal my world again
I can only watch the waves close in
circumference deadened, fight while I can
and I am nothing in a world where from nothing I came
and maybe loving chaos is the only world I know
