Restoring Justified Designs
In restorative justice programs,

Prophecy of Sand
Men, they say

and unresolved traumatic memory,
is to health,
as violence,
and unresolved threat of violence,
is to peace.
Western and Eastern cultures of competing traumas
long for cultures of health,
climates of cooperative gratitude
for Earth's sacred...

It speaks to me and
it does say,
I give no quarter
and furthermore

A question that penetrates one’s heart and soul:

A Severe and Constant Struggle
From the time of Washington to today,
We have been in a "severe and constant struggle"

But never suggested we ought to be weak

And he called out the miserable hypocrite
In the strongest of...
