Stuff - part 2

... Where is the independence
Where are the heroes we once held dear
When thoreau is civilly disobedient
How can we fold to group think
The mental gymnastics required
Usurped by the talking heads
Blathering nonsense
Pray to the dollar, that it not slip
As euros grow and gold gains
Handwriting on the wall
For all to see and most to ignore

So, where to look when seeking truth
It must be there, somewhere
Waiting to provide a beacon
For those wishing to harvest light

Look inward, search outward
Under rock, in gullies, between streams
Riparia and the mountain tops
Where lichen like and fungi shroom
And silence screams loudly calling
Patterns of biology, structures of chemistry
Gravitational physics, natural law
All there, out there, being and doing …
