They stand tall with their yellow coat,
Before they send their saintly seeds afloat…
Spiritual soldiers in silence softly set sail,
Through fields of dreams with a tenuous...

Silent Destruction
The violent 'V'
Disguised in a black rain coat
Dancing the meadow

Gone undetected
A moment of destruction
Silently Creeping

Ravishment rising
Displacing time, hope, lives, dreams
Silent aftermath

As the moon softly rises and tempts the stars
Into the quiet revelations, admissions

Reparation
Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Reparation
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan

from our 
mother, father, 
sister, 
and 
brother, forever -

We demand
