Cows Out! Part III

I’m for the president [...]

Liz Philben
I grew up talking.
Talking with my mom and dad,
Talking with friends.
I guess I like to talk
About as well as anything.

My Other Brother
My other brother
Stands alone.
Betrayed, enslaved
Away from home.

Without country or nest,
Like some wind blown bird.
But now I see
My other brother
By strength of will and faith,
Rise out of the ash of [...]

New Men

Then a call of confirmation:

“Dying in a distant reckless war, dying on our streets close to home.”
Dying from hate and misunderstanding by bullets and bombs,
Dying from too [...]

Community Heroes
I saw a story on the TV news
A few weeks ago.
It said Americans
Are not volunteering
The way they used to.
Boy Scouts of America: down 27%
The Red Cross: down 62%
One high school of almost 600 students
Could only muster five parents
For the [...]
