responding to the critics

and sometimes
they write to talk about
discipline
and sometimes to lecture
about the need for
hope

sometimes
i send them pictures
of nuns hanging raped and
murdered from the trees
of central america

we all need to
believe in something

I just got your message, John. Great! Now I have a source for your poetry. I'm adding this to the feed under my links on my own blog. I like this poem.
