<< 18. Flagpole at the Landfill (poem)20. Thank You to About Face, VVAW and Veterans for Peace for Joining This Fight >>

For Jacob David George (poem)

By Carl Nyberg

[Printer-Friendly Version]

A thousand dead artists
Ten thousand poems
Some recorded
Some not
Seeing the world
Ugly & imperfect
Being the prophetic voice
Calling on us to be better
Care for each other
Oppose war
Oppose suffering
To work together
Those who worship
Technology
Instead of ancestors
Get tricked
Seduced
By propaganda
When we should be
Listening for ghosts

—Carl Nyberg
