Courage

James posted a poem by D.H. Lawrence called courage. This poem holds meaning to me that i feel is unseen within our culture today. wikipedia describes D.H. Lawrence as:

David Herbert Richards Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English author, poet, playwright, essayist and literary critic. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the "dehumanizing effects" of modernity and industrialization. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct.

Odd to see that he was born on September 11...

Modernity

Do you still know
what it is to be human
Are the rules of life
definable?

Is there really a true path
or is the truth
just everything
that doesn't feel wrong.

Who are we to judge
we only have the power
of unity...

Do you understand
The meaning of a word
or do u only know
what saying it will do.

Understanding the feeling
will bring out the truth
of your pattern of sound

your voice...

your belief

...Prenton...
