Beschreibung
From "In The Widdle Wat Of Time": Far from the F-22s being deployed now to Europe Far from the prison cell where the one who spoke is silenced Far from the bombs and bullets Far from the bodies being washed upon the shore Far from the old who have seen it all before Far from the young who will never grow old Far from those who profit by it Far from all of that I watch my apples grow Some mornings I can even smell them from the window ****** I tried not to fall But there was nothing to hold onto But the falling ****** Roses are blue, violets are red LSD taught me it's all in my head ***** God bless America.and everywhere else ***** Shooting stars and fireflies darting through the air The earthworms must be wondering what's going on up there While from the sky the earth below might look to some as flat Though worms and ants and rabbits know it's anything but that ***** The world is yours now, do with it as you will Until that night when all again is still
"In The Widdle Wat of Time" is a collection of poems and very short stories by Michael Lederer. Poems include sonnets, haiku, erotic and prose poetry, lyrics, children's poetry.the common theme being that a poet like all people has many sides. Mature, child-like, hopeful, cynical, sincere, ironic, political, up-to-his-ears and over-his-head in politics, groping for answers amid the questions. Die Welt has called Lederer "a true archeologist among the great American writers."
