Terrorism is the war of the poor
and war is the terrorism of the rich.
~ Peter Ustinov
BE SERIOUS
Perhaps it will snow.
Oh do be serious.
We know that Washington is thick in bunting
and Bush posters.
A crow of sadness
for the myth of democracy.
A Supreme Court appointed head of government,
a Republican Supreme Court appointed Republican president.
But what's a president?
And what is democracy?
Now we can see how
all those other countries
and states
and republics
live under their tyrants.
How the poor die in the streets.
— Ruth Stone
