letter to sam


you want to know why you attract aggression so
when all you want is to be at peace in your world
we did not stray far from the cave,sam....club and spear and fire mean war
drawings on the walls are of a hunt....someone dies ....ends are certain
stick figures ancient wisdom cartoon our angry times
when floating emotions seek a lightning rod to earth upon
you are it,tall sam.you attract attention.if you were hobbit small and humbled
you would be as unseen as we anonymous ones
learn from the willow-bend in the wind-
you can(with yogic flexibility)stretch and rise again
sometimes it is best not to face a bull head on
learn from the toreador and matador/to slant from horns
every rodeo clown knows best how to avoid death
and still make a damn good living..
