Glimpse

sloping
through the dying smoke
I catch
a rare glimpse
of
a nearly forgotten
drama

that
magic moment
which
they want
denied to us

freedom

Welcome Back Lenny

Short, powerful and to the point. Nice work. that magic moment which they want denied to us freedom Excellent lines. Freedom will always win through. Even in the land of the tyrant, the mind is always free to think! Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

Your piece here brings to my mind a short phone call ...

received from a threatening IRS agent. When I objected to his continuing threats, his last response before slamming down his phone: "Being who we are, we get what we want." Am I wrong ... or isn't that the sort of signing off I might get from a spokesperson for the Mob? On another occasion an agent alerted me that they would be ordering a particular thing from me ... and then proceeded to tell me what I would be paid. A delicious moment for me: I said something like, "You'll pay what I charge---and well in advance of my even starting to do the work on it." It was a pleasure hanging up on him. Needless to say, the Mob (er, I mean the Government) never followed through on the promised order. There are many more stories I could tell ... and not enough time in the day to tell them. So I'll quit for now. Thanx, Lenny, for the memory jog. With appreciation, Chuck

The Mob

is an apt name for the IRS! What I notice here Chuck is how the govt(our MOB)take from us and we roll over! Its time for us to fight for our freedom. Again Chuck, we also have to worry about the Eurpoean Union which is turning into a Dictatorship. Lenny
