When You Least Expected

by Paul Hall, April of '86.

Don't say you never understood,

when apocalypse begins.

The characteristic fairy-tale

of life has shallow friends.

No rock nor anchor 

greets the storm

that wrecks all the contrived.

Don't say you never understood,

when your world 

has not survived.

Don't say you never understood,

when the money system goes;

and when your world collapses

and countries fall in rows.

For when you could have understood

you didn't want to know.

Don't say you never understood

when your lifestyle 

has to go.

Don't say you never could find out,

when the people you abused

were trying all things possible

to bring the facts and news.

You listened to the fiction

of opinionated views.

Don't say you never understood

when your deeds

helped to confuse.

 --Fine art, digital art, music, several voice introductions by me about my work, articles about my artwork and other topics such as sociology,  the cosmos, economics, education, medicine, poetry, humor, something I call premonitions, and a series about covered bridges, all by yours truly, the webmaster, Paul A.L. Hall. There are feedback, a website search engine, and exhaustive contents pages. Plus my weblogs are on site, an art school and classes.

A few clicks before it's all over they finally get it.
