What is a man who hesitates and hides <br />when faced with great adversity of friend, or you <br />an inner voice out for survival is what guides <br />his actions in withdrawal is his Waterloo. <br />He shuns the weak, infirm and those infected <br />as if they had already died and gone to Hell <br />and paints in golden hue the wall he has erected <br />then talks about the character of Wilhelm Tell. <br />Oh no my friend, there is no lasting peace <br />within your soul, if harmony you seek, <br />the usefulness of it, this Golden Fleece <br />may well evaporate and speak to you in Greek. <br />It is your hand that is the issue here and now <br />no ice-cold shoulder makes the world a better place <br />but if you have to ask I can not tell you how <br />as all the answers are engraved upon your face.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-comfort-of-distance/
