GETTYSBURG

Those who fell at
Gettysburg...
in the peach orchard..
their scarlet blood
became
in time pink peach
juice.

(not an endorsement of Southern slavery

nor Abraham Lincoln's hanging of 30 Native

Americans)

RED CROSS, RED CRESCENT

to Red Cross
and Red Crescent
.. time to view
the dawn rhodescent
as it melts
mars tinged moon crescent

(not an endorsement of Red Cross
Wall St or pharmaceutical connections... nor of their
treatment of animals in disasters )

THE DISGUISE OF SPIES

The disguise
of spies..
infinite in variety.....
street people, a tiny percentage of door to door
Jehovah's Witnesses,
utility meter readers, private package bearers
and women mail carriers, the man or
woman who comes on to you, the network anchor.
talk show host, metropolitan newspaper politics writer,
the senator who votes for war, the mystery writers
who go along with disinformation to be published
on sacrificed trees and
in audio books.
Beyond the disguise
of spies
is the God of all
shining in their eyes...
even though, unripe souls,
they have more lives to live
in the world they
have made more violent.
