Sweet lovely children of God's family beloved home going faith's knowing

lay still expiring in my weeping heart no coffin nor the Stars & Bars draped

to ennoble your slavery sacrificed rewarded resurrection assured warranted

transfiguration

And as for I who remain behind watching the last lamb aboard our humble ark

awaiting our floating upon the sea tranquility eternal to the dove loved olive branch

we will face-to-face God now seen not one star but all we the now extinct extinguished light upon the mount of peace infused no shadows

those who remain my leaving enjoy their spoils briefly then their children turned to

what bizarre mutations suffocating irradiated land, water, air a blaze

for them too I weep now and again

The angel of death arrives by various venues

at times merely old age

at others genes

then accident

or disease

none without merit since there are many things worse

Just off the telephone with my sister who this Monday next will undergo thumb joint replacement one at a time From my growing knowledge base I suggested that whether male or female medico she while able grasp them painfully below their waistline before they waste her with their dirty hands which then they would profit more the remedy their indifference to what they do for profit the bottom line divinely arrogant prevailed
