\nwhere have you gone
\nsince age twenty-nine
\nwhen you published your collection
\n“The Poet’s I”
\nthe ultimate hedonism of self realization
\ncontrasting St. Theresa’s among us
\neast\/west touching in the cross hair
\nthirty-one years have gone by John Evans
\nJohn Evans, age sixty now
\nare you with us or have you departed
\ndid you write anything after 1974?
\nDedicating “The Poet’s I”:
\n“I dedicate this book
\nto the lovers of life,
\nthe perusers of dreams,
\nand to the searchers
\nfor the wisdom
\nof the soul.”
\nStill here or over there
\nI’m feeling that you know
\nsearchers are still among us
\nbrothers still crying
\nbrother can you spare a dime
\nthe religious among us are asking
\nwhere does one learn moral values
\nif not from organized religion?
\nDo I hear you crying now?
\n“If they truly loved their God
\nthey would love
\nall of his creation and protect it
\nflowers and trees and human beings
\nall and everything under the sun.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
