The Name Of Tomorrow Poem by Ben Gieske

The Name Of Tomorrow

Rating: 2.7


La silence dans leurs yeux
a le spectre des ombres.
Shadows do not speak on main street;
do not hide the poor.
Les visages des pauvres peuples
sont les images de l’histoire
which never forgets l’ombre de la mort.
Love is the dernier desire
to travel seul dans le chemin de la vie.
Le nom of tomorrow est silence.

- Ben Gieske, Sep.7,2008

It would be easy to argue that there are many other things to be seen in their eyes besides silence, but that would be to miss the larger point you've so clearly and pithily made Ben.... You're right, and maybe it's the worst of all things to see there...... A penetrating, powerful and very sad poem. jim
