FIREWORKS AND PARADES

Instead of giving my usual patriotic quotes on this Fourth of July, I’m giving a revised version of the Pledge of Allegiance, and something that I wrote before George W. Bush, September 11, 2001, and the murderous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Oil Companies for which it stands, one nation under Gas, with Liberty and Surveillance for all."

Reverie

The beautiful face of a child
Looked across the open world
And saw the sky and ocean turn upside down.
All the myriad stars fell into the hair
Of the beautiful child
And he burned like a sun.
And on another intelligent planet
The face of another beautiful child
Smiled as he saw in the dark heavens
A huge brilliant explosion
Of ten billion stars
Disappearing.
It was the Fourth of July.

Bush and his coconspirators must be indicted and prosecuted. For those who died on September 11, 2001. For our soldiers who have died for their lies. For their families who will grieve every day until they take their last breath. We the people are bleeding for those families. We do care. We are not unpatriotic, but we will not condone what Bush and his coconspirators have done to this nation.

Bush and his coconspirators must be indicted and prosecuted. For the hopes of dreams of our young people, gone and blowing into the dust bin of a distorted history.

For the children of our soldiers who will never know their mom or dad past the last time they saw them as they were being shipped to hell to fight an unnecessary war. America's plate is heaped with corruption and danger. But, we must not, we cannot ignore the crimes of Bush, Cheney and Rice, because it's the easiest path or because "they're out of office now." No. This must be pursued as a screaming warning to future presidents that they cannot and will not be allowed to destroy this country by sending our soldiers into useless wars based on lies, causing so much grief and agony.
