casey's mom will not back down
she intends to speak straight
to the face
of el presidente

begs to ask
face-to-face
the Q's
a mother has a right to ask
any commander-in-chief

in any country, anywhere
mothers have rights
given to them
by a higher power
that go beyond
government issued rights

(This is about Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq)
and it's perfectly OK to read this without leaving any reply...honestly, it won't hurt my feelings one bit

I have been admiring her strong stand and feeling the emotion of a mother who has lost a son. Thanks for writing this!

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes this art
