NATION OF SHEEP

We are a nation of sheep ---
While others wake, we sleep.
As others rise, we shut our eyes
While just like wolves, they creep.

Patricia 'Stahl

"MY Country -- right or wrong"

We were once a great pig iron giant
a mass of strength and power and bulk.

Now we are a stainless steel athlete --
with rerrsi Lstren gth

We don't rust but we bend as well as break.

Bishop

LIFE BHAUTIFUL

The wonder of breathing+
seemg+
laughing--
crylng--
learning--

Smothered by conforming man.

BLANKETS

.Gray shadows and mist-blanketed earth.
Torrents of rain chilled wi thout end.
Continuing into night with white flakes all different.
A whole day -- not wasted --
But cleansed.
