Make believe

Make believe
cover your eyes and count
to ten

Make believe
open your eyes and look
at me

Show me what you think
I’ll show you what I think

We’ll see each other
in a land of
make believe

So many happy happenings
to find, to have, to be

For make believe
is what we
believe in

Playground

They asked what love is
I asked what life is

We looked at each other
like children in a playground
asking questions we couldn’t answer

We giggled
we loved
we lived

That is all we did
that is all we needed
that is all

That is all

In a medley of love and hate, defeat and triumph, lies and retribution; the moment came about. It looked at the blue sky patched with fluffy white clouds and asked, “what is it that makes me so…so momentous?”

The sky of course, being a sky, didn’t answer.

Fromm the heart

I’ve recently been reading Fromm, as in Erich Fromm. Here’s a gem:

The principle holds that no citizen loses his property or his rights of citizenship and the citizenship right is de facto a right to which (Palestinians in Israel) have much more legitimacy than the Jews…If all nations would suddenly claim territories in which their forefathers lived two thousands years ago, this world would be a madhouse.

Jewish Letter, February 9, 1959
