“I'm an old man, and I want to lay out what I think I understand. With poems like "Traitor," I'm examining my feelings, my convictions, my understanding of the world, and testing whether they're really true. So that when you hang your holster up, you can make a judgment on whether you have any integrity at all. That's what I care about. That's why I wrote it. If I can't write that poem, then I've got it wrong somehow.” ThinkingMenWorldWritingFeelingsCareUnderstandingIntegrityJudgmentConvictionOld ManI CareTraitorReally True Author:Dan Burt
