Another Protest
by
Robert H. Dirr Jr.

  Walking over land made void by napalm
    And thousand-pound bombs,
  My legs are covered with ashes,
    A dusting of malignant snow.

  We march in single file, dumbfounded
    And gasp at five crispy critters.
  Charcoal-ized lumps, they are only
    Remnants of yellow men.

  But the blackened scene is disrupted
    By a small splash of crimson.
  We pause at the absurdity of
    A perfectly blooming rose.
