*Nov.22, 2003.

As I see, more and more,
the rights of the "several States"
sucked from their shrinking veins
by the burgeoning federal spider--
caught in its overstretched web--
it sickens me to watch--
wishing my State could just fly away
from the sticky rings of government
that pull it further in.

What a mess the struggle would cause,
but what life could be saved!

You know... I love activistic poetry like this. I love the descriptions and the message you bleed from them. Very well done and ....excellent! One voice does indeed make a difference.

Thank you very much!
