War Poetry

Cloy Richards' mother, Tina Richards is trying to meet with Nancy Pelosi to talk about why she is not doing more to stop this war sooner. Pelosi has refused. You can support her remarkably peaceful and polite campaign at http://grassrootsamerica4us.org/CloysStory.html You can also read her son's poignant poetry on that site.

Here's a small section from Why I fight for Peace

BecauseI can’t forget no matter how hard I try.
They told us we were taking out advancing Iraqi forces,
But when we went to check out the bodies
they were nothing but women and children
desperately fleeing their homes because
they wanted to get out of the city
before we attacked in the morning.
