THE HEART OF THE ROSE **
*
Busy bees chased
the flower chaste
They crawled on her
clothes
her petals unfolded
but not those held close
(to J Kasmir)
*
LOVESLIDES**
*
Dust caked plant confined within
house walls..stares out wistfully
as raindrops make loveslides down leaves
washing away their dirt
Time for the spray bottle she believes
*
ACHILLES TAIL**
*
The deer's white tail
gave him away
in the brown winter wood
but his speed protected
him from those who would
kill him if they could
*
GREEN BUD**
*
The tree full of rising
sap and green bud
was felled
as are young men who
in old rich men's
wars are killed
*
BREAKING AWAY**
*
"The early bird gets
the worm" to her baby
said the robin
"I don't want to kill
worms" said the fledgling nestling
*
SLEUTH AFTER TRUTH**
*
For a while
he was a sleuth
after hidden truth
As time went by
*
SHIP ON THE HORIZON
*
dawn
first light
daybreak
sunrise
like a ship on the horizon
the sun breaks forth in rising
*
OPPOSING SIGN
The Catholic mother of 10
stood across the street from 100 prolife
vigilers. Her sign said Catholics For
Choice. Whether or not one agrees with
her, her courage is impressive.

JESUS V RIGHT WING </p><p>Jesus said feed the hungry. <br />Others make them
work at minimum wage for food.<br /> Jesus said "Peter put down your sword." <br Chickenhawks say ."Pick up your sword and kill Muslims... so that you will<br /> be the cannon fodder of the rich". Jesus told stoners to put down their stones as He stopped <br /> an execution in progress. John 8:7<br />Trump, Barr, and Biden's AG nominee Merrick Garland have all executed. <br /> God told Moses not to kill. <br /> Texas' official state sport is brutal rodeo which breaks calves' necks. http://www.hsus.org <br /> Isaiah said "I delight not in your blood sacrifice"<br />
The USDA, CDC, FDA, HHS etc promote the eating of toxic cadavers of murdered animals. <br /Prolife people elect Republican presidents who cause abortions by bomb to pregnant women.The 5th Angel of Revelation said not to harm any green living being. Republicans promote deforestation.
