And I want justice now <br>for generations that have yet to be born<br>and though it's as elusively numinous <br>as trying to make out what constellation <br>the fireflies are trying to shape out of the valley fog <br>after a lightning storm has just passed over <br>and everything is as clean and disordered <br>as the dishevelled bouquets of the wildflowers <br>beside the singing ditches and in the vetch bound fields, <br>it seems like a desecration to have arrayed <br>all this beauty, these woods, my eyes, Arcturus and Aldebaran, <br>even the anti-mystic details of the history of war <br>we keep a record of to consider ourselves civilized, <br>and all the hurt, the sorrows, the disappointments, the sacrifices<br>and even in the way we born to love each other like appetites, <br>all that and more reaching out to attain the unattainable<br>and then the startling realization, like a mirror <br>recognizing its own twin in a crowd of unrelated reflections<br>you are the abandoned crocodile that grew up <br>in a slum of radioactive slurry, and at this time of year, <br>when the wild grapevines are ripening like shepherd moons<br>with life-sustaining seas under methane ice-caps <br>and dusty mauve cataracts, without an eyelash of distinction <br>you are the wine that life is intoxicated upon<br>and extinction is a kind of trance we go into when it's time to sober up.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Patrick+White">Patrick White</a><div class=q>
