 Phillip (October 5, 1923 – December 6, 2002 (left), and Daniel Berrigan (May 9, 1921 – April 30, 2016 (right) Jesuit Priests Burning 1-A draft records at Cantonsville Md.-1968 "I know nothing of supernatural powers I have yet to perfect my natural powers!" Daniel Berrigan -- from, Zen Poem Rest In Peace-Phil And Dan Their blood fluid dries in the peaceful earth, Once it flowed, staining conscriptions. This example of natures perfected power, Gained prison terms for two father/brothers For the blood of innocents-these Physical followers of Christ given edicts.. Fought covert devils, in the political details. An Honor bestowed on these ban the bombers- J. Edgar seethes in a smoke filled room, While Nixon consulted with Christian posers, Nuclear tests flattened yuccas on deserts, As fire rains down on Vietnam innocents. Two dressed in black, raised the sword of their Christ. To them the Gospel was personal, shaping cold steel Into forms of plowshares, while newsmen took pictures- Of Billy Graham speaking, his sword still in its scabbard. In a parking lot, war heroes burned papers With garage made napalm-jelly and gasoline. A simpletons recipe, of Dows lethal chemicals, As examples of protest against social evils, Soldiers decked out, in black robes of right.
