Prolog to _Peace Poems / Piece Poems_ by T Newfields

Prolog


Frida: Peace poetry and art? How foolish!
Satoru: It's harmless stupidity I suppose. Although Engels got some things wrong, wasn't he was right when saying, "An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory"?
Frida: Indeed. Where was the author when Bush invaded Iraq? What did he do to reduce Palestinian suffering? Did he care about things beyond his petty ivory tower? Unless ideas are translated into action, they aren't worth an iota.
Ying: Well action starts with ideas – you know that. Change must start from somewhere.
Dmiritri: Isn't the more important thing core intent? Why's this book being written? What's behind it all? That's what matters to me.
Frida: We'll never known . . . yet it's too easy to rationalize things.
Dmitri: Here's what I suggest: let's suspend our skepticism a while and simply read.
