Dack Throm Le Fiving Bead....

(One mixed up dude!)

I was at Eco House today, offering my gardening skills such as they are. Eco-House (or the one I am talking about anyways) is in Leicester, on Hinkley Road (the A47) and is, incidentally, a beacon of sense in a paranoid and mis-informed world.

Whilst there having a coffee and a chat with two very interesting guys, okay I was scoping the operation out if I am honest about it, I came up with this poem. I have tidied it up a bit since then, but not much. Enjoy...

Seek Within Yourself

Seek within yourself for the answers you desire,

Look deeper within for the meanings you require.

This is what the “wise” and “knowing” folk will say,

As they frown in disapproval at my chosen modes of play.

Yet as I reflect on inner regret,

I do not think it safe at times

To search too deep within my minds

Fevered mad dog imaginings, or

Half remembered happenings.

For all I see and touch and taste and smell,

Within this “me”,

Within this carbon shell, is

Pretentiousness

Pain

Fear

Cruelty.

So...

...I guess the wise and knowing folk do know,

That is where I should be looking then?
