"paint it black . . ."


Poem Artwork

Mary didn’t, but had a lamb
Black spider’s web site for a fly
Whaler’s wife in black – walk
Single death – a baker’s dozen
Earp’s, Clanton’s, McLaury’s – gun choice.

Exclaim loudly from a second marriage
Iron caskets beneath the sea
Tears that run down a woman’s face
Centuries of war – MIA’s
Window jumpers – Great Depression.

Shooting the wife-beater in self-defense
Lincoln et. el’s. assassination
Innocent’s in jail hung out to dry
Jack came down and broke his crown
Trail of Tears – Cherokees de-nationed.

'2008' RLS

Amazing blend of past, present and future. I'd like to think NOT future. I hope we open our eyes real fast.

A running litany of woe. A reminder of wrongs that shouldn't have happened. Thanks. Ending with the 'Trail of Tears' was a powerful stroke--how our government made promises in writing and broke them due to greed.

Widowmakers, all - a sad journey through history. Those that forget it are condemned to repeat it...well said, Robert.
