Analysis of Without.
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
Without a vision ,
there is no drive.
Without drive no direction.
Without direction a drifting through,
a windblown inattention,
Driven by the chaos of circumstances
the push of social will.
a stand held on shifting sand
Compressed into life's recesses
no place ,no part; no plan.
