"People of the future
while you are reading
these poems, remember
you didn't write them,
I did"
Ted Berrigan
Everyone must
be Free
for all
to enjoy
the full
fruits and gifts
that freedom
bestows upon
the many
inhabitants of this
illustrious planet.
We must all
be given
the right
to live
our lives
in freedom's glow
with Peace,
prosperity and happiness
for everyone

Poetry...the primary inevitable response to tyranny
- Daniel Berrigan
Clear water running in the spring creek, flows
from every newborn's heart. Around the bend
coruption pollutes our thoughts with consumerism,
paths of mutual destruction and madness
modeled on the nightly news.
Still, the pure well in our hearts runs deep, frustrating
the robber-barons of our souls.
Food we eat, politics we endorse, come under
increased scrutiny as truth refreshes.
Pinnacles of power topple as their pawns
resist in ever increasing numbers.
Manufactured enemies (self-sourced) created
to control history by providing security
from fear are now seen in the light of day
as what they truly are, enslavement.
Arm-in-arm, hand-in-hand
people are waking up to to their inalienable
rights to freedom and liberty for all.
The time is now to stay vigilant, neo-cons
increasingly will create rolling disasters, meant
to ignite fear only they
(by our abjudication of freedom and liberty)
can resolve.
Never waver, never relent, peacefully
resist.
