THERE ARE NO HEROES HERE


(for Cindy Sheehan)

We are going nowhere now
in a house that has no doors or windows.

It is just a place to sleep.
There are no heroes here only mothers

and fathers calling out to children
who will never come home again.

But why try to speak of this?
It is like throwing ashes into the wind.

We are going nowhere now
in a house that has no doors or windows.

  1. I say NO to new monuments to be built "In memory of"
    The missing, we call Heroes.
    Fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers, sons, lovers Killed at war
    Are not Heroes,
    They are tears in the hearts of those left behind.
    Do we need more shrines?
