something’s knocking at the door a great white light dawns across thecontinentas we fawn over our failed traditions,often kill to preserve themor sometimes kill just to kill.it doesn’t seem to matter: the answers dangle justout of reach,out of hand, out of mind.the leaders of the past were insufficient,the leaders of the present are unprepared.we curl up tightly in our beds at night and wait.it is a waiting without hope, more likea prayer for unmerited grace.it all looks more and more like the same oldmovie.the actors are different but the plots the same:senseless.we should have known, watching our fathers.we should have known, watching our mothers.they did not know, they too were not prepared to teach.we were too naive to ignore theircounseland now we have embraced theirignorance as our own.we are them, multiplied.we are their unpaid debts.we are bankruptin money andin spirit.there are a few exceptions, of course,but these teeter on the edgeand will at any momenttumble down to join the restof us,the raving, the battered, the blind and the sadlycorrupt.a great white light dawns across the continent,the flowers open blindly in the stinking wind,as grotesque and ultimatelyunlivableour 21st centurystruggles to beborn. -bukowski
