And a Bell will Ring

I finished a poem that had been kicking around for a year or so, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

I'm not really a Hemingway fan, but he does have some good ideas, and that's a particularly memorable quote.

I had started the poem (I also have some half done musical ideas on it) after reading The Hydrogen Economy. The opening chapter discussed the history of civilizations and empires as it related to energy and resource requirements, expansion and collapse.
