Photo... Thoughts... Poem by NS... Memorial Day 2011

Ok, who pissed off the "Gods" this time? Sarah? Jerry? Newt? Pat R? "Georgie Porgie"? "Tricky Dick" II? Grandma.....? [Stop That!] Ah well, the sky is crying - and that is (perhaps) the most appropriate (after all is said and done...) way to "celebrate" (?) this day...

Memorial Day 2011 [by Nancy Smith]

6AM thunder
Yeah bro, I hear you
Rain pouring down
For the soldiers
That died

For innocent victims
Of floods and tornadoes
For innocent victims
Of greed, lust and lies.

Our parades a salute
To our pride and our honor
"Mother Nature" states strongly
A whole other side...

6:10 AM thunder
Ah yes, bro, I hear you
And I have to agree
It makes sense to cry
It makes sense to grumble
It makes sense to rumble
It makes sense to scream
When so many have died...

Our parades a salute
To our pride and our honor
"Mother Nature" states strongly
A whole other side...

6:15 AM thunder
For the blood in the streets
For senseless gang violence
For widows that weep
For every child victim
Of trauma and pain
For every woman raped
For every single name
On that wall... Vietnam
On that wall we don't see...

Ah yes, bro, I hear you.
Thanks for talking to me.

Our parades a salute
To our pride and our honor
"Mother Nature" states strongly
A whole other side...

7AM, it is quiet...
The day to begin
Some lived for our visions
Some died for our sins
But me, I'm a jester
Just dancing in tune
With the sun
And the wind
The rain...
And the moon.
For as time passes on...
The sky carries the tune

And you could sure play
One funky trombone.

I just wrote this - freelance - this am.

Peace, love and Humane Justice,

NS
