Mourning Shroud
I have a War Memorial sculpture in my front yard that I put up two years ago, and that I change occasionally. Today I changed it, and added a Mourning Shroud. What began as the Bush/Chaney/Rumsfeld War has turned into the Obama/Biden/Gates War, a war of extended timeframe, with little end in sight, regardless of what Obama said about a withdrawal time. Things change.
I have an informational plaque in the front for passers to read:
This is NOT a Happy Season!
How can I in my right mind put up bright celebration lights when there is Endless War
in Iraq & Afghanistan?
This Mourning Shroud is for
Those who have
sacrificed & WILL BE sacrificed–
American & other
Soldiers & Civilians—
Iraqi & Afghani—
All who die or are
harmed in this senseless war.
Join me & others in working for a
sustainable peace everywhere!
SPEAK OUT
FOR PEACE NOW!
