Wake Up Jonah!

the poet is never completely satisfied with words,
as if any exist that could ever truly convey
the complexities of the soul
attempting the impossible,
possibly the novel has the better chance..
poems are like photographs
a flash of light
a shadow
an interrogation
glimpsing for a moment the most raw expression,
naked    true
at different periods in history,
the poet becomes the most dangerous person in the world,
rock and roll is no longer dangerous,
it is predictable and tired,
country music is so lame and weak it is laughable
Lady Gaga is the new Clash...
"Wake up Jonah, it's your time to be born!"--Bruce Cockburn
