ADVENT OF THE LIGHT



Time passes

the night's

impenetrable

  might

is severed by morning

swords of light

   Evil's unity

is broken.

Melt the shells of malice

and the shards of night

  

   soon their evil is so slight

   .. they melt away with

   the advent of light

CHEERLEADER CHICKENHAWK



Cheerleader chickenhawk of the

charnelhouses of War

.. flails Afghan skullcymbals

.. and his diverting pom poms..

taking the attention of the public

from the stadium owners



Several times he has been invited

onto the field

and declined



his meat and armaments

and lumber and mining and oil

and other paymasters lurk in

the alleys behind the fan stands



He sings songs to send others'

children to the slaughter

.. the children of the poor

to the blood altars

but safe are

his own daughters



while presidential preaching pastor

who has forgotten the words of the

Peaceful Master

gripping missiles in his pastor fists

a blasphemy against the Great Pacifist

mouths prayers for the success

of bloodshed.. as tanks

pollute Bethlehem and Palestine



cheerleader did enter a field of battle

himself.. against unarmed pheasants

in a woods.. birds who could

not shoot back.

DOVER



When distant chimes

rang fast

and peeled

it was of joy they told

When distant bells

rang slow

it was a story of grief

they tolled

LIGHT OF GOD SHINES FROM ALL EYES



The light of God shines out of all eyes..

the eyes of every

human, animal, bird, fish, insect..

even the eyes of serial killers and unelected warwagers
