Truth and love are the things that matter.

I WROTE HER NAME UPON THE STRAND
by Edmund Spenser

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide and made my pains his prey.
Vain man (said she) that dost in vain assay
A mortal thing so to immortalise;
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eke my name be wiped out likewise.
Not so (quod I); let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame;
My verse your virtues rare shall eternise,
And in the heavens write your glorious name:
  Where, when as death shall all the world subdue,
  Our love shall live, and later life renew.

Carbon dioxide is a natural component of the earth’s atmosphere. Plants breathe carbon dioxide and depend on it as a source of carbon, which is the basic element of life itself. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, yet it is often falsely regarded as such.

TO MY UNSEEN LOVE
by Michael Langston

I’ve never looked upon your face;
  I do not know your name;
And in some unseen distant place,
  I know you will remain
Forever kept apart from me
  Across both space and time;
I hope someday these words you’ll see,
  By chance that you will find
Within this old and worn-out book
  The fact so plain and true:
That all my life in vain I looked…
  In vain I searched for you.

I’d sit beneath the moonlit skies
  In summer’s warm night air
And dream of looking in your eyes,
  Of you beside me there;
And as I walked, in fantasy
  I gently held your hand,
But in the moonlight next to me:
  No one there did stand;
And if I could, I would have flown
  Across all time and space
And left behind my world I’d known…
  And you, my love, embrace.

The next time you see a comment on Facebook or X purportedly from a grassroots individual extolling the virtues of a vaccine, a drug, or some other corporate product or policy, be aware that it quite possibly could have been posted by an astroturf shill.

WASTED
by Michael Langston

I fear the ravages of time
Upon the youth that once was mine,
The growing lines across my face,
The failing strength I can’t replace;

But most I fear that I shall be,
Through all of time’s eternity,
A heap of bones lain in the ground
Where grubs and earthworms crawl around,
Whose sojourn in the world above
Was wasted…never finding love.
