Now Is A Good Time For America To Prove
It Is Beautiful

16 December 2001

the bombs have stopped the guns are silent
in Afghanistan, America, Palestine, Israel
yes let us continue our hunt for Osama Usama
but let us walk our talk
it is 4 days till America's first day of winter
winter is upon Afghanistan
by one account
Afghanistan and American innocent victims
are near equal
even though American counters now add the airplane victims' count to the WTC count to keep it above 3000
starvation is terror
now is a good time
to save the starving and the cold of Afghanistan
and broker a true just peace in Palestine
if
we are America the Beautiful
it will show
in our actions

will we walk our talk?
