Philip Berrigan
He was arrested over 100 times.. as over and over
again he confronted the warprofiteer machine
of the capitalist imperialists. In his last arrest
he was held by Ashcroft, forbidden to receive mail,
phone calls, or visits from his wife and daughter,
both of whom had been jailed or arrested.
In the tradition of Christ and his followers Gandhi
and King, Berrigan invited suffering to make the way
smoother for his brothers and sisters.
Now he is not impeded by a body as he continues
to work for peace, and hovers around his wife
Elizabeth McAllister, his family, his brothers, the saints of
Plowshares in Baltimore, and all beings.
