The Bushy Wood

The Bushy Wood
(Image by Kevin Tully) Details DMCA

In the bushy wood
the covetous hunter
took more than
his share
proudly kicking
ant beds
Mocking the
carrion eater

He did not hear it
when it came
dragging him cold
back into the wood

The others stood
unblinking
calling after
The Hunter
maddened
howling
raging with fist
and breaking
word

The one
chosen
stilled the
throng

Holding
a match

"Just as The Tipping Point provides an explanation for big changes, Rob Kall offers a unified explanation for the magic behind the success of the biggest tech companies, the Arab Spring, Occupy and the social media revolution" An important, big picture, visionary approach weaving together technology, economics, evolution, science and personal relationships -- even happiness -- to describe a wave of change as significant as the invention of the printing press that is well under way -- a wave that could rescue the planet from the top-down system that afflicts the planet."

Thom Hartmann, host of nationally syndicated radio show, The Thom Hartmann Program, since 2003 and a nightly television show, The Big Picture, since 2008
