Talking bombs,
fast-draw uranium enriched
nuclear bullets, missiles aimed
at predetermined targets—
like the enemy’s essentials:
water, electric
and transportation grid
poisoned and petrified—
and who’s got the best,
them or us? Fighter jets
or drones, B-2s
or attack subs,
who can blow the biggest hole
in the planet? Who can drive
the herd of humans
over the cliff of reason first
into the flames
of Armageddon,
barbecued and
swallowed whole.

Unfortunately, very timely and too true, John. What a long, long way our weary world is from liberty and justice for all, even right here in our good old USA. May we all resolve to do better as we celebrate our Independence Day and remember the values and principles that formed the words of our Declaration that have inspired people all over the world. Let us be true to them.

Amen.
