Veterans Day
November 12, 2007
In honor of those who died for their country,
In honor of those who are wounded with inadequate care,
In honor of those who died for nothing,
In shame of those who put them there.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Point of Diminishing Returns
There comes a point
when no amount
of terror and killing,
kicking in doors,
occupying territory,
and the business of death
will do,
There comes a point
when only compassion
can clear an area
of the scourge of war
and the threat of fear
feeding dysfunctional politics,
There comes a moot point,
call it victory or defeat,
when conflict
just brings diminishing returns
to all combatants,
humanity, and environment,
There comes a point
when God wins
over the destructive exploits
of man,
and the business of life
begins again.
