HUMAN PARTS
By Michael E. Stone
Buses bombed and human parts Towers bombed and human hearts spread, sprayed, and scattered. Men unknown by men unknown.
How halt this hatred darkness of fanatics crazy in their attics cellars stinking and dungeons of the soul all black?
Darken glimmers false enlightenment, self-deception “this is what God wants, or history wants, or the nation’s spirit wants.”
If God wants this, I want not Him.
Mind deceived by self, Heart twisted by hate.
How do they sleep? Well, I fear.

CANCELLED
By Michael E. Stone
Cancelled - a stamp with black ink showing date, place, sometimes country
Cancelled - a flight to somewhere some town, some land.
Cancelled - a meeting that might have changed my life.
Cancelled - a page in life’s book, replaced by another.
Cancelled - a check overdrawn on life’s bank.
Cancelled. Cancelled.
The End.
