WELCOME TO ARIZONA POET BOB ATKINSON'S BLOG

WELCOME TO ARIZONA POET BOB ATKINSON'S BLOG of Arizona Poetry. Arizona Poetry reflects the multi-cultural heritage of the Southwestern section of North America. Arizona Poetry is reflective of how we became who we are, and how we look at where we are going. Arizona Poetry is us, not you and them.

WILL BE POSTING, FROM TIME TO TIME, MORE STORIES FROM MY BOOK "ARIZONA CULTURAL INFLUENCES - ACI".... THESE ARE TRUE HISTORICAL STORIES WHICH MAY BE RESEARCHED AT THE LIBRARY OR ON LINE, ALTHOUGH I DO NOT CLAIM THEM TO BE HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS, AND HENCE
DO NOT ATTEMPT PERFECT HISTORICAL ACCURACY.
THE ATTEMPT IS TO GET PEOPLE THINKING HOW ALL SIDES FELT ABOUT THE EVENTS, SO AS TO HELP US ALL LEARN MODERATION IN OUR FUTURE ACTIONS.

IN ADDITION, I MAY POST SOME OTHER, NOT SO SERIOUS POEMS I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT LIFE AND LIFE EXPERIENCES.

Naturist vs Dreamer by Bob Atkinson


Naturist vs Dreamer

(c)2012

one calls time
says "let things pass"
gives not into deep intervention
control not in his grasp


the other dreams of perfection
although does not know how
to achieve such a lofty goal
doesn't have God's power

when these two polar opposites
struggle to rise to the top
the struggle sometimes get violent
as in Spain, an internal war fought

all think they really know it all
as you hear each day on the news
but do they understand the nature
that drives us always through

through to better situations
through to better thoughts
of caring for our civilization
and complexities it has brought

nature gives us senses
desires, wants and fears
and great determination
that drives us to our tears

but nature always wants her way
easily her power dominates
so when we alter her straight course
we get conflict and violent hate
