The Dead Poets

The Dead Poets Society
Sucking the marrow from the bones of life
Getting every last drop
Before feeding the worms.
Those squirmy, gnawing beasts.

Carpe Diem
Seize the day
Leave naught behind
on this journey full of sunshine
heartache and strife.

Stand up
Speak out
Use the Dead Poets' words
Use the lessons that life has taught you.

Your best friend dead
Or your son from suicide.
Fix your mistakes.
Stop chasing a reputation
of superficial means

Seek enjoyment,
not fulfillment.
For in joy
comes greatness.
Do as you love
and you shall be
forever
a Wonder
upon the world.

(a response to the movie The Dead Poets Society with Robin Williams)
