I want to kill you war, forever,
not like a phoenix, that always comes back
I want to kill you war
and I don’t know how
and I don’t know why
all the people of the world
don’t join hands
to kill you war —
you the greatest killer
of them all

Memorial Day. The day to honor and mourn the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Brave men and women, who fought for our country.

Cinnyris osea, who called you
when the day died?
Palestinian sunbird,
bird of aspiration.
Some things can only be said in pictures and metaphors. They are the language of the unconscious, transmitting preverbal wisdom directly into our hearts and souls.

The tears of a child, the pain of a mother!
A heart full of memories of a dead father!
A silence that is bursting with agonizing screams
So quiet and yet devastated with shattered dreams
We interrupt this poem to bring you reports
of an explosion
of wild untruths and other signs that the news
is broken.

What time and place would I travel to if there would be a time machine? My blogging friend Peter, from Peter’s pondering, asked me that question a while back, and as so often, I didn’t have an answer right away. However, I thought I found a clever way out because he had mentioned there would be no return and a one-way ticket in a time machine didn’t seem desirable at all.
