! The Cedars of Lebanon
THE CEDARS OF LEBANON
The tallest cedars of Lebanon were felled
(as were junipers and cypress)
for the building of Solomon's temple
How many more trees are being felled
now
and the creatures who live in them
by Lockheed bombs bought by Olmert?
TERROR
Terrorist governments project their
own reality onto guerilla groups.
Terror is the child of territorial
dispute.
NONVIOLENCE
Whether one calls GOD by Shiva or Abba
or YHWH or Allah
God approves not of violence by
Israeli or Hezbollah
WHAT DO I LOVE?
evening and morning sunshine
bamboo and jade pine shrines
sea shallows sparkling with brine
where small wonder cocina dine
fig trees blooming in elation
each and every of creation
refugees finding spacious homes
the ocean's waves chanting Om
