Living True

Was it not a mortal face
that launched a thousand ships
in that hazy glorious place
our fallen heroes now sleep

Was it not a mortal hand
that stayed the fury of the beast
though how we may never understand
as we look back into the days of mist

Was it not a mortal shout
that set the walls tumbling down
as Kings march sacked in rout
when our dusty feet came to town

Was it not a mortal voice
that hushed the raging waves
dying with the applause of buoys
our battered love He gently saves

This is a story of you and I
living our lives without a lie

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.
