There are 58,000 names on the Vietnam
War Memorial.... the American poor
sent off to war by the pawns of the rich.

But where are inscribed the names of
the 4 million Vietnamese who are dead....
their bodies falling like snowflakes
while their spirits rose..

snowflakes indistinguisable
as snowblankets further froze

now melted, the snow to
the sea did flow

*********
When John McCain was shot down
he had been bombing a lightbulb factory's
women employees.

Few suffer from war more
than the soldier victims
of war profiteers.

God bless all soldiers.
God bless all widows.
God bless all the dead.
God bless all beings.

O Anna Niemus
