Poets Against War continues the tradition of socially engaged poetry by creating venues for poetry as a voice against war, tyranny and oppression.

I'm a poet and singer/songwriter, as well as a lawyer and lecturer at University of California, Santa Cruz. I watch in amazement and horror as America allows Pres. Bush to steal the government, become a dictator and savage our Constitution and democratic values.

Memorial Day

Thank you for the flags Memorial Day
You honor us millions who were slain
But we fought the wars to end the wars
And each time died in vain

Honor is in your flags Memorial Day
But honor is just morphine for your pain
When at last you see that we died in vain
We won't have died in vain
