Merril hosts Poetics in the dVerse Poets Pub ~ Music is the theme
In 1985, as the film "The Killing Fields" ended, and the credits rolled ~ John Lennon's music filled the theatre. I could not move ~ sat in my seat, sobbing ~ for what seemed like hours ~
i didn't expect the piano
soft as a mercy
then Lennon
imagining peace
but today
the bombs still fall
on children who
never heard of Lennon
imagine one olive branch
still green
in a garden of ash
