"THRESHOLD "

"THRESHOLD "

They say the King is the debtor to no man
When beneath the sails he bargains with
Lay asps and horrors no single man
Could possibly withstand......

Kings are examples
Of How to make the phantom escape
not within himself
but within you and me......

To see the world in it's universal space
Creates quiet insanity
Glorified with pomp and circumstance
The King accepts his own death......

But what he leaves behind
This Threshold of the truth
That idea,
That their truly is,
Something worth fighting for......

Tony Taylor     (Chicago)

Tony Taylor composition is elegant, impressive and is littered with good intentions, but in real life the good Kings and empathetic with his people are conspicuous by their absence. Today Kings are cruel, greedy, and selfish, some Kings than when they're not crushing and deceiving his people are killing elephants in the jungle of Botswana. A greeting.

The poems are not just to enjoy the beauty of the language, also must be made to meditate and invite readers to think. I read, meditate, think and answer what inspires me the composition. A greeting.
