Inspired by John Gault's Radio Address in Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged." I wrote this several years ago... I bring it forward to encourage a friend... and a reminder to myself that all is not well with the world.
Because how you love life passionately is not in the same spirit as others.
FROM JNET ... ie JANE GAULT....
The last of my words I leave to those heros hidden in the world
Held prisoner within the beauty of a soul unfurled
Of virtue and desperate determination
My friends in spirit, keep watch your border
For lingering enemies await to bring disorder
Hurling hatred upon a path of an honest life
Where roads have been laid down with passionate invention and emotions
To serve hungry nations of voracious appetites and notions
And you are held by means of your endurance
As your generousity extends to bear their sorrow and concerns
Innocent of their sulfurous hearts as their mind burns
A crack on the sidewalk disguishes
Their evil in cries of despair
And you stand unaware
Unable to conceive of their intentions
In giving every benefit of every doubt
You refuse to condemn that which eludes you
Devout to understanding
You stand with your love for life
They chant quiet prayers of strife
As you naively call them friend
They plan your love for life to end
