The winter trees

no longer Shakespeare's

barren choirs were

temporarily blackbird fruited

 At Fort Campbell, Kentucky, the Army sprayed tens of thousands of
blackbirds in the middle of winter with detergent so that they would freeze to death. Ann Free, Schweitzer biographer, reported that as the heat rose as mist from their dying bodies. As they froze to death their souls to rose to God.

Our government treated soldier children of the poor in the same way, sending
them to Afghanistan, to be blasted out of helicopters at night onto frozen
peaks by stinger missiles supplied to the Taliban and Mujahideen by our CIA.
