Tea For Three and History

by Nancy Ames

Civilization is created
by the discussions
of those who have left
their followers behind.

The lost followers
search and destroy.

Comedies of terror
provide entertainment.

Images of perfection
take the heat.

"As I was saying,
natural order is
never constant."

"Absolutely, without
milk I can't drink
tea at all."

I like ..."lost followers search and destroy". You leave me disturbed yet wanting more...but I like that. MFS

Nicely done! That is part and parcel of history! Followers changing words to suite and justify their needs regardless of the purpose. Too many times the changes have become the distortion of what was really being taught or recommended. Nicely done!
