The silence that envelops, Only when peaceful, When my heart is full enough to sleep, Filled with the newest memories. They are sported like new technology, Not so limited, but loved and invested.

With a heart that bleeds, With eyes that shed tears, I weep for my people, I offer my condolences To those who have been wounded, To all who have been crushed.

To those with blood-stained hands, To those who worship only kings, Cruel,...

“Up men to your posts! Don’t forget today that you are from old Virginia.” – General George Pickett Beneath Gettysburg's sun a merciless blaze Stood Pickett with his face etched with war's haunting gaze.

We are victims Tied with common fetters Loosed in thoughts of varied choices and desires Loosely searching to make ends meet: The meeting at this spot, Either to go or stay, is a choice. We are victims Of the policies of pain Emitted to drive us crazy, We are on the street , though not crazy. Destroying our common patrimony. In futility,...
