At length, when the womens' screams had ceased
and the sound of the thunder had stopped,

Fresh air in the middle of  paradise morning!

rugged in animal accoutrements and subdued in the presence of the future's skin,
the women, fine in wild beauty are bejeweled in beads, white and blues

Eminent domain, manifest destiny, usurpation...

Russian soldiers in general
and Vladimir Putin in particular
perpetrate outright injustice
against Ukrainian population.

When potable water nearly disappeared,
good faith communities
for healthy living 
water,
Earth,
people,
plants,
soil,
air,

Fire-breathing resistance churches
and calmer rapture temples,
synagogues,
mosques,
green post-millennial sanctuaries,
Gaian ecofeminist fire-circles
gathered their members and neighboring allies,
republican nationalists,
green democrats,
ecosystemic libertarian zeroists,

To discuss and discern
which potential Presidential
and Vice-Presidential candidates...

In a region of natural beauty, next to a crystalline body of water.

From the jade hills of my land, I could clearly see...

When I was a history teacher, I had a passion for the subject,
Like the twilight descending silkily, as day and night connect.

and truck loads of oily public cash
on killing our own Green Commons,
and threatening all EarthTribes with punishment...

predominantly innocent victims

Should we invite the neighbors over for dinner?
Their politics so different from ours.
All the more reason. Combat anomie!

but opposes immigration. I like immigrants
