Dick is a writer, attorney, and political activist living in Vista, California. He is the author of Paying the Rent, an autobiographical account of anti-war and civil rights activism in the 1960’s and beyond. The book is available on Amazon. The poem below is a timely reflection on the current "thin line between/helping and not helping too much."
Remember Climate Change?
Generals interviewed about the looming war are uniformly in favor they paint military outhouses blue over yellow for support across broad western platforms powered by Cisco and Oracle running a continuous loop of sympathetic sunflowers Gofundme sites and birthday fundraisers for bargain missiles purchased from Lockheed and Boeing with bipartisan taxpayer money apparently not needed when war is the priority we walk a thin line between helping and not helping too much as they shoot and bomb each other and leave home on crowded trains in crowded stations needing every good thing we have. We cheer our new friends and supply small rockets - sleek, shiny and suitable for display in the Museum of Extinction. |
