Thems the words that make poetry worth reading,

I have missed you my tough, honest, warrior friend. Second verse rocks. Not sure about the final one, upheaval, change, laughs in the face of steely resolve, but the image is good. Cheers, Jess "The political arena leaves one no alternative, one must either be a dunce or a rogue." Emma Goldman
