A ROSE FOR 165 ANGELS	

One rose
One hundred sixty five young angels

One hundred sixty five young angels
At school studying
Dreaming of their tomorrows

One hundred sixty five young angels
Crushed by the weight of a bomb-shattered school building
As heavy as the unfettered ego of the President of the United States of America

One hundred sixty five young angels
Cut by shrapnel shards as sharp as
The hateful words from the White House

One hundred sixty five angels 
Incinerated by the flames of greed 
That motivate our ruling oligarchs

How much longer do we accept suffering inflicted in our name?
How much longer do we fund wounding and killing human beings?
How much longer until we are moved to action by horror and shame?

One week ago today we awoke to another atrocious act by the POTUS.
An act enabled by his minions and sycophants.
165 Iranian schoolgirls were ruthlessly killed by the U S Military and the Israeli Defense Force.
May God have mercy on us.
May God have mercy on the supporters and enablers of this mayhem.
May God have mercy on those indifferent to the suffering of others.

RESIST THE DESPOT!

If time and age have cooled our compassion, may the notes from Maurice Ravel soften our hearts:
