THE RED WINE IDEALIST

Published: Oct. 3, 2020, 8:01 p.m.

I asked of a dear priestly friend of mine about the catholic communion red wine stating "if it be the blood of Christ how come it strengthens the sinners and weakens the saints" ? he was quite taken aback but then again both of us were rafting on the stuff at the time. The second haiku poem is about a quotation from George Carlin that my artist campanion mentioned to me his quotation or, that cynics are disappointed idealists, I retorted back to save a smattering of honour telling him that idealists pontificate from their privileged positions of freedom .
