don't blame now for not being then : brendan kennelly

Whether in business, science, politics or the arts,
some men, says Simona James, simply theorise
passion out of their hearts

How come atrocities may be forgotten
but one stabbing remark
will haunt the heart forever ?

If it's true that where there's muck there's money
it's also true that the rambling bee
brings home the honey

The people I love the most, says Granny Arden
are those who live and love the moment
and don't blame now for not being then
