More From Susanna Moodie

People have always told tales. long before humanity learned to write and gradually became literate, everybody told tales to everybody else and everybody listened to everybody else's tales. before long it became clear that some of the still illiterate storytellers told more and better tales than others, that is, they could make more people believe their lies.

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

The great subversive works of children's literature suggest that there are other views of human life besides those of the shopping mall and the corporation. they mock current assumptions and express the imaginative, unconventional, noncommercial view of the world in its simplest and purest form. they appeal to the imaginative, questioning, rebellious child within all of us, renew our instinctive energy, and act as a force for change. this is why such literature is worthy of our attention and will endure long after more conventional tales have been forgotten.

I'm going to be working the next 25 or 30 years. people like me, if we want, number one, for no benefit reductions for our parents and our grandparents, number two, for the system to survive and exist for us, and, more importantly, number three, for the system to exist for us children, we are going to have to make reforms to that system.
