So, if I am guessing correctly
each national holiday
is a litmus test
of terrorism's best
attempts to redefine us,
and now that Memorial Day
is just another passe holiday memory,
the color code changes
from ORANGE to YELLOW
announcing to all
we can go about our business
without fear of truth
or consequences.

But what about the thousands
who encircle the globe
who see RED every day
because of our united ignorance
of the real causes of
War?

*

May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

majnu, thanks, but even though I did spend some time there in the sixties (for fun and political inspiration), I graduated from CSUN...not well known for its activist attitudes, but a lot easier on the budget and the brain.

Nancy, THANKS!
