Pax
'Neath a banner wrought in darkness,
After eave has fallen nigh,
The chosen moment harkens,
To the insect's lullaby;
The cars abide in flight,
Like when clouds amount the sky;
I've imbibed the type of night:
A stillness whispered into sigh –

Pax Et Veritas
Our history has known too many wars by far,
Not one’s gone to oblivion without a scar.
In a war - other truth, contrived by a wrong man,
Where in fact there is, clear as crystal, only one.
The culprit is the power, held in evil hands,
Obscured by the entitlement to foreign lands.
Convenient

Pax Vobiscum - 2
Pax vobiscum – peace be with you
He came to earth, the perfect light
Faith, hope and love filled the night
He was more than merely the only way
He was the king of kings they often say
His love is wonder, joy and grace
He is the One who fills this place
With kindness beyond our dreams
Wisdom more alive than sunbeams

Pax Vobiscum
I was really, really, really angry at God -
like most people are.
You have to fall out with a lover
before you know you can live with them.
I still wish God would just admit
that He’s a perfect women,
but we all know that’s not going to happen.
Of course, we are never angry with what we think
is making us

Pax Romana
oh,
boastful & bloodthirsty empire
stretching yourself silly
from “sea to shining sea”
will there ever be a moment of peace
again?
must you continue
rising like yeast
to command the breadth of the world
until you become far too burnt for anyone to
enjoy
anymore?
even rome had a
pax romana
even icarus
paused for a moment to strap his sandal back up
before
flying
into
the
sun.

A Pax On All Your Houses
Anticipating
a peace march,
it's easy to get cynical.
How to prepare,
what to wear,
a uniform to confront
the uniform.
We mobilize
and mobilize
in responce to
mobilization.
Yin and Yang.
We and Them.
Spy vs. Spy.
Frick and Frack,
the march goes on,
a suicidal drumbeat,
sheep to slaughter,
life and death, death and life,
to step out of line
is to aid the enemy.
To join the line
is to aid the enemy.
The real
