More, Not More (apologies to Bruce Cockburn)

There must be more...

More of the poetic,
the prophetic,
the noetic,
the didactic.

Not more trivia,
mania,
insomnia.

Not more celebrity.
inanity,
insanity,
profanity.

More questions,
discussions,
conclusions.

More
Not more...

Some
Not some...

All
Not all...

Not more consumption.

More moderation,
reflection,
rumination,
education.

More sanctification,
propitiation,
justification,
salvation.

More intercession.

I am reminded of Sam Walter Foss' little poem, "Bobolink Philosophy" [Back Country Poems. Boston: Lee and Shepard Publishers. 1894. Page 23.] whose first line grabs one's attention:

"I know a deep philosopher who's far too wise to think . . ."

LOL!
