Our numbers are large
Yet still far to few to change
Rampant injustice

One defiant stare
One moment of brave manhood
Then he bleeds to death

my children's children
will laugh and play in your dust

Brutal savages
Pale skin, God and gun powder
will civilize you.

One straw too many,
and each straw a whit of fear.
A shrug and it's gone.

As he lays bleeding,
the angry mob does the math.
So much for the guard...

Geez, I hope they wash their hands before dinner ;)

no haiku pentameter but...

visceral gut burn
seething rage
you - of my father's army
big red 1
liberators of europe
here in my country
boots on my streets
what irony
i'm thankful my father is gone
he would not understand
It's the lines that count.
The man with his dignity,
takes the high ground.

Hee hee. Some people have no respect, honestly! Here we all were grooving on the church-like vibe and you crack out a fart. Dreadful ; )
Otherwise, I grooved on this one folks. Very good.
BTW. This pic was by the Brazilian photographer Salgado. If you look him up in googlepix you won't be disappointed. He's fantastic. I originally started looking for his famous series of the hordes of people climbing that steep incline with sacks of gold ore on their backs. Remember that scene in Koyaanisqatsi? Okay, well Salgado was there first. Anyway I got distracted by all his other pix and ended up going with this one. It's a spectacular composition, and all on the fly. Astounding.
