hell Mary i miss my mother
\nwho art in heaven these several years
\nwho was a Victorianized wife
\nof a Catholicized husband
\nwhich caused both to need to die
\nbefore they could freely send love
\nto seven siblings
\nour father now is also
\nholy love
\npouring down from above
\nso as below
\nwe honor you in heaven
\nas our mature vision now comprehends
\nyour great sacrifices
\nthru the Great Depression
\nnow comprehending how your childhood settings
\ndeprived you both of outwardly expressing feelings
\none of your great gifts being siblings never fearing
\nbeing without home or food or fear of everlasting damnation
\nleading us from the greatest temptation
\nof power and greed
\nback to the Athenian Dream
\nagain renewed by the real American Dream
\nthat people needed no King or dictator or religious leader
\nthat they have the capacity to rule themselves
\n(religious freedom is not free
\nif there is no quarter for freedom from religions)<\/p>\n
When US leaders change “retreat” to “cut and run”
\nand deny the dictionary definition of “civil war”
\nin their desire to create the War of Worlds
\nwith a War on Words they fail to understand
\nwe all understand “1984”.<\/p>\n
hell Mary our father
\nwe know how we got from there to here
\nclimate changing global warming
\nworld starvation<\/p>\n
FEAR<\/p>\n
but it is not yet December
\nand winter is three weeks coming
\nyour great grandson is gathering wood and we are awaiting
\nour first snowflakes’ arrival…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
