FATAL VISION

I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT A MAN
WHOSE MIND WAS BLINDED BY A FATAL VISION.
HIS EYES COULD NOT SEE CLEARLY
WHAT HIS HANDS WERE CLEARLY DOING.
HE LOVED HIS WORLD
MORE THAN HE LOVED THEIR WORLD TOGETHER
AND HIS SAVED HIS LIFE BY TAKING THEIR LIFE AWAY.

WHAT CAN YOU GAIN BY HAVING THE WHOLE WORLD,
BUT LOSING YOUR OWN SOUL?
HOW CAN A MAN ADD TO HIS LIFE
BY SUBSTRACTION?
AND WHAT CAN A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE
FOR HIS OWN SOUL?

WHERE THERE IS NO VISION
THE PEOPLE PERISH.
BUT WHERE THERE IS A FATAL VISION,
FAMILIES CEASE TO EXIST
TRADITIONS DIE, AND DEDICATION MELTS AWAY.

I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT A MAN
WHOSE MIND WAS BLINDED BY A FATAL VISION.
HIS EYES WERE OPEN WIDE
BUT HE WANDERED DOWN A ROCKY ROAD.
HE THOUGHT HE HAD PLENTY OF TIME
BUT TIME HAD ALREADY RUN OUT
AND THE CLOCK HAD ALREADY STRUCK MIDNIGHT.

Couldn't put the bopok down. fasinating story

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
