CROW FEATHERS
Angel winds
forever rustle
the Crow's Great
Spirit feathers
..
BRIGADIER
The brigadier
with medals tier upon
tier
and rows of coffins
bier
upon bier
.. unnumbered are
the tears.
Wrapped in the American flag:
a mind shrouded from the sun
by the fabric of violent nationalism
hamburgers wrapped in the flag,
their blood staining the stripes
as the taxes of the poor pay for
the ads of multinationals
around the world
NONVIOLENT WORLD
A nonviolent world...
No strangled fish in the dories..
No cows bound for slaughter
in the lorries
No men killing for
illusions of glory
No bellicose media
falsifying stories

And other generals: Eisenhower.. who ordered cats on the White House grounds shot Schwarzkopf.. who bombed surrendering white flagged Iraqi soldiers by the hundreds of thousands.. they were bulldozed into graves.. and then with bulldozer outfitted tanks.. broke through the lines in right and left columns covering men in trenches with dirt.. burying them alive .. he then received a Safari Club award for having killed 300 kinds of animals.. .. and said.. that he always cries when he shoots an animal Franks.. who liked to kill long distance with computers as if in a computer game White.. who took 62 million from Enron pensioners before joining the Pentagon Powell... who disagreed with Caspar Weinberger about shutting down the dog shooting lab (now they use goats) http://www.matthewscully.com a Bush speechwriter who quit over the brutality and wrote the book Dominion Black Hawk down refers more often to training accidents and helicopter fatal glitches.. than to combat
wow, these words moved me.
