a Memorial Day Salute

when it comes to Memorial Day

you may say

that i am not appreciative

and i am not

and i have not forgot

those who have sacrificed

their lives

that we may

hold on

to the standards of out living

civility

humanity

insanity

i am one

who can never condone a war

of any type

when it comes

to the taking of life

you see

they are my Brothers

my Sisters

who died

on both sides

Mothers lamenting

the loss of their sons

the lands of the people

raped

because of greed

take heed my friend

for we need to amend

our ways

our thoughts

and i know

there is always that one

that shining Asshole

somewhere

who convinces the people

of their sovergnty

that this is a thing

we must do

i beg to differ

yes,

The Hitlers must be stopped

popped

cropped

as well as the Noriegas

the Idi, the Amins

the Bushes

who go unseen

because we are blinded

by a term

we have come to endear

called “Patriotism”

and what about all those would be Khans

who wave that magic wand

through the news

to alter the views

persuading the people

to forget their humanity

yes . . . dammit

insanity

that we would listen

don’t we know better by now ?

and you Sacred Text

is full of such accounts

of people

who kill in the name of . . .

defaming my spirituality

and i can only SMDH

and what about those

who toes

never touch the field of battle

they but dictate

how you should lose your life

and why

and i ask “Why”

as my soul cries these tears

with no resolution

and get a 3 legged pony

for that crippled spirit

Joseph Kony

tie him to it

and shit

along with his dark cross

of despair

for all the souls

who are deprived

the air of life

they do this

because they have an agenda

that is not to your best interest

did you hear what i said

THEY DON’T DO IT FOR YOU !!!!!

but you have been elected

selected

to die for them

AHEM

and History continually recycles it’s self

changing Uniforms and Names

and geographics

that we not clearly see

we do not have to die for them

for you

for me

we can choose to live

if we but stop the hate

and learn to love

self and others

for in the end scheme

just like Martin’s dream

we are all

Sisters and Brothers

and the Lenins

who be beginning

these surges

of frivolous mouth frothing madness

of people against people

perhaps i shall pray for them

perhaps not

but right now

all i can do is “Imagine”

isn’t that what Lennon said

but he is dead now

or is he ?

the Caesars

the pleasers

the Republicans

persuading the Publicans

from Christ to Rome

from Doctrine

to Dome

the Rote

the Rites

that usher forth Night

steal our Children’s Suns

and if you blink your eye

another War has begun

somewhere

so memorial day is here

and i pray i remember

the value of life

the smile of a Son

and it’s meaning to his Mother

that shall never see it again

may these words be my memorial

and thus become a reality

where our frailties

our propensity

to kill each other

my Sister my Brother

show up no more

Memorial Day . . . Remembering Eden
