The Nature of the Dog

Loyalty, the vibrant nature of the casual dog.

Know forth by the destitute and common mortality

of the daily friend.  Man's best friend resides in a dog

for it grows by heritage like a small child flamed with

a passion for a purpose, yet chilled witht the persistent

wait to arise. Ageless, the child grows and comes

to age for that purpose and wakes as being first born.

Thus is the nature of the dog.

Poetry, the Gay Science

Poetry, mockingly called "the gay science" for it's whimsical

stance of ideas for fancy and toil is likely so called, for the

whimsical way they toss as if some blatant scribble from an

internet blog. When in the past they were used to move nations

with the fever of grand speech and talk. Yet saw so many men

those days that stood against them, discard each as easily

as before by our present mention. Perhaps the men of old

had colder hearts, so perhaps they had the brains of the so

called adolescents, so vain in their strain of thought, 

to dissuade  any and all that which doesn't meet it.
