Kudos

KUDOS

Your gentle courage
An example to us all
Who strive day by day

Pilate – Nuremberg – Obama

PILATE – NUREMBERG – OBAMA

What kind of defence is
“Just following orders”?
I hear you sold your arse
Hope you got a good price

Integrity

INTEGRITY

Fashion and custom,
belief and law,

come and go;
dissolve and evaporate.

Yet there is always
(however forgetful we become)

always, always,
two of us:

the actor …
and the observer;

and things work best
when we remain eye to eye

and hearken to
the primal

that feeds both heart
and soul;

tiller when we act,
anchor when we stand firm;

father and mother beyond this realm
and I your dutiful child.
