Every age is witness to famine,  infectious disease, natural disaster, the savagery of man and nature - crime and war.  The only one of these we can't control directly is natural disaster.  But we are too busy fighting one another over issues of pride to feed the hungry, to fight internationally rampant diseases, robbing-raping-murdering each other and our children to end (or at least reduce) the carnage of our own by our own. Every generation sends its sons and daughters to war somewhere around the world ...

If it deals with writing and literary  activities, I'm happy to get involved with it.

Leaves Falling Spring leaves falling sadden me. Every breath of wind shakes green confetti from the trees. It doesn't seem we'll lose the trees - they sport new foliage daily. Still, it seems unnatural they're falling now, their soft green faces glistening with tears, eyes young, afraid.  I want to rake them up, burn them before they are dry, gray feathers scattered, forgotten. copyright 2005 Live Wire Press
