MEN OR WOMEN
Is it men or women who work more
in slaughterhouses?
who are
more involved in domestic battering?
who commit
more rapes?
who more often vote for executioners?
who promote
war, vote for war, kill in war?
who as
'talk show hosts' allow no talk?
who
are more often pedophiles?
who torture
lab animals more?"
HUNTER, CHILD, BIRD
A hunter can divide
the universe into four parts
with his telescopic rifle
crosshairs
A child can contain
the entire moon within her eye.
The bird can bear the
light of the crescent
moon.. upon his crest
Each of us carries
God Herself in our hearts.
But some follow His
command
to do no harm.
ASSISI AND MISSISSIPPI
It's ssisi in
Assisi
It's ssissi in
Mississippi
but in both
kind presence
is more valued
than being
impatient and busy
It is those who kill
out of peer pressure
who are sissies.
