Tears are falling fast.
Tears for now, tears
for the past.

Will we grasp the
meaning of this war?
Or grasp the reality,
the insanity, of any
war that came before?

So many, and "in the
name of God," but
that's just a facade,
smoke and mirrors.
"For Oil We Stand,
Divided We Thrive"
so the motto seems.
The American Dream?

Western Imperialism
at its best? Do we
honestly invest to
systematically
oppress,
depress,
stress,
cause unrest among
other peoples,
other nations?

"They" must be
contained so resources
are gained, strategic
sites obtained. Oh,
but we can explain!
The “communists are
coming,” and now the
terrorists. There's no
error as to who THEY
are; "they wear scarves"
so of course we're
alarmed!

“We” wear suits, yes,
we're civilized, and
deny any blood on our
hands! Can't we just
get our people to
blindly understand
we're under attack?

And so, the beat goes
on....and so do the
bombs....

SOLDIERS OF PEACE

The day is dawning
when soldiers will
be soldiers of
peace, released
from the confines
of mind, from the
lies that blind to
Love's awareness.

Gone will be the
days of careless
"Yes Sirs!," the
very words that
keep the many
from questioning
life threatening
commands, life
taking demands.

Someday, someway,
humankind will take
a stand and insist
"We will not kill
to fulfill
the dreams of
rapacious elites,
or for those who
live by any creed
dictating worldwide
deceit."

HE CRIED

He cried when he
tried to walk but
could not; he felt
his legs....
only phantom pain.

He cried as he tried
to write, only a
reminder his hand
had been blown away
by roadside bomb.

"I live in this chair
daring to give voice
to the injustice of
war, where I was
chewed and spit out
when no longer of
use."

"For whom did I kill?
For what did I fight?
I now sit alone as I
ponder war's plight."
