for life to be both
enjoyed and endured?—
for the little you have left
to be the most
for which you hope?
The preachers
say no—that our purpose
shall be known—
while the politicians
split the vote by angling
for an either/or;
but the rest of us don't
bother sending soldiers
to that war, since
we already know
the answer is: sure, that's
what music is for.
