I don't know much about poetry except what it means to me. Does the thought become "entity"? Does it matter if it's empty? Does it have it's own "integrity"? Does it speak to you and me? Is it a way to express "liberty"? If we used it instead of hostility what a wonderful world it would be. Copyright 1998 by Joe Morales |

My father was a soldier. He served his country well. The country that he fought for became his personal hell. Now that I'm much older.
At work he hurt his shoulder.
He used to carry me on his shoulder. When I was sick he made me well. But the country that he fought for never taught him how to spell. I heard he died in Boulder.
Now that I'm much older.

HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE? -Isaiah 20
In the time of Sargon, king of Assyria
“Loose the sackcloth from your hips”
A Prophet of God he was christened.
“As my servant was naked for 3 years”
In Egypt & Ethiopia you put your hopes.
Put your hope in nations. God forsaked.
Trust God’s word thru the lips of Isaiah:

is that we have learned nothing from history. It is only after we have truly learned from history that we can strike out in a benevolent new destiny. What we need an open and truthful society and the courage to face our demons. The only other possible alternative is that we actually become our demons. There is no other way. THE WORDS THAT DARKNESS DREADS Truth is the lighted path which wisdom treads. Faith is a fortress manned by knowledge. These are the words that darkness dreads. By the fruits of one's productions... Does one have the right to expectations. |
So breathlessly beautiful,
so delightfully innocent, is the delicate crystalline
structure of the simple snowflake. Who would think that the ocean
of snowflakes blanketing our countryside contain a toxic cargo of dilute
sulfuric battery acid that insidiously etches away at the very fabric of
life itself? Aging pollution maps show that Central New York
has the highest concentrations of sulfur dioxide. An Oneonta
State College study showed a direct correlation between concentrations
of sulfur dioxide and the acidity of atmospheric deposition such as snow,
rain, or fog.
The shadow of the specter that wafted through the streets of London in the 1952 "Killer Smog" brings a quietly spreading death to these 'sleepy' communities. The beautiful snowflake is no longer innocent as its toxic components leave the old and young breathless with cardiopulmonary inflammations and allergic reactions that mercilessly tax the heart. Little is said about the thousands of documented human fatalities that occurred around the middle of this century in Donora Pennsylvania, New York City and London due to the toxic component of acid rain where samples of sulfur dioxide in these killer smogs were six to twelve times the usual level. Reactions from environmental organizations resulted in their respective governments to coerce industry sources of the pollutants to filter out the neutralizing ash and build super-tall smoke stacks and superheat these toxic acid forming emissions so that they would be carried far from their mid west sources to our own back yards changing the nature of the problem from easily proved manifestations to more insidious and more chronic circumstances. In the Spring of 1988 New York State Attorney General's Office along with several other eastern states and Minnesota brought a class action suite against the U.S. Government to enforce laws that would reduce the emissions that cause acid rain. The suits were thrown out because of insufficient evidence. YET THE BODY OF EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING. THE BODIES ARE OVER WHELMING! A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHEMICAL WARFARE…
In 732 B. C. a great Assyrian force under King Sennacherib besieged Jerusalem until an "Angel of Death" went out among the king's forces one night causing panic and death as they fled from this "unseen protector of Jerusalem" (RE: 2 Kings 19:35). How else would these ancient writers describe a "pollution event" brought on by the nearby sulfur fires of Gehenna? Isaiah aptly anticipated this by writing: "The breath of Jehovah, like a torrent of sulfur, is burning against Assyria".
Dr. Haller goes on in his History: With the outbreak of the Crimean War British Admiral Lord Dundonald proposed the use of sulfur fumes to drive the Russians out of Sebastopol. The British War Committee considered the effects so horrendous that no honorable combatant could use them.I lobbied the State of New York to implement a standardized acid rain monitoring program (that should have been done 40 years ago) so that we could compile the necessary evidence of "hot spots", trends and mortalities. Colleges and cities already have the standardized equipment in place to do the job. You would think they would do it out of concern, educational interest or professional pride… but they don't in spite of the fact that they are all being funded by the very people affected. Political representatives have told me that Acid Rain is a dead issue and as long as their constituents don't care they are not going to touch it because all it would do is make powerful people angry. "They know of more than one way to destroy a person." IN MEMORIUM of Duke Johnsson, 17, who died of a heart attack in the small Central New York community of Oneonta on November 12, 1997, and David Burlisson, 16, who died of a heart attack in neighboring Norwich November 12, 1997. |

> Keep my words within your heart > for they are words for those who find delight. > Guard the wellspring of your life: your heart. > Keep perversity from your lips: shut them tight. |
Our Nation's Destiny:
> When money and power are treated specially, > When crime and violence threaten liberty, > Bringing looming clouds of legal reformity: > We must never forget our nation's destiny... > Forfeiting access to justice... Equally... > For what will be left to us but tyranny. |
