I woke this morning to hear a dove,
and wondered why peace and love
was not the mainstay of this earth,
as the sun, to a new day, gave birth.
Just then, I was roundly slammed,
and called a nutcase (specifically, goddam*ed).
So, I did just like the others,
put tacks on chairs,
stole from my brothers.
