75
Mother Earth
The earth sustains me.
I will walk respectfully
Until I return.
Ancestors
Our people sacrificed
We are their main achievement
Humbly we sustain.
Nature
The little red fox
Graceful bandit in God's scheme
In action, beauty.
Coal Miner
Deep deep in the earth
They dig in dark and danger
We have light and warmth.
Beautiful Tyrant
Beautiful blue jay
Firece loud segment of nature
Admire and forgive.
Gratitude
The war is over
People died that I might live
I am sadly happy.
Landless loneliness
Expressed in speed and danger
Without words or song.
Miracle, the brain.
A million tape recordes
Tapes both good and bad.
The Matador
The man committed
The bull brave, no time to learn.
Brief tragic actor.
Working in a gang
Some deep need is satisfied
In isolated man.
Lively lovely girl
Going away to college.
Who paints the lily?
Earthmovers, such power
Some small man can change my world
I can only weep.
Everyone has need
To be a part of something
That goes on living.
Airlines
Thirty thousand feet
Beauty walks the aisle. The pilot,
My life in his hands.
Power
The power of knowledge
Used without restraint is like
A madman with a gun.
Earth
Gently folling leaf
Joining earth's black living soil
Part of life again.
Automobile
Once free to wander.
At the wheel of moving steel
Silently, he stares.
Gentle Victory
Search, search, we must find
Some great challenge to replace
The thrill of battle.
Work
Strawberries and cream.
Hundreds work so I might eat.
See my dainty hands!
Violence
Violence feeds itself
Like fierce fires that draw the air
And burn more fiercely.
Bring me no equals
Equals are competitors
Bring those I can love.
Choices
Long term survival.
Two choices. Better weapons,
Better way of life.
Protect the young
Evil companions
Greatest danger to the young.
Slowly the poison.
