Pray for War
POETRY FORMAT, 29 Apr 2013
Tom Greening – TRANSCEND Media Service
Our heroes need good wars to fight,
for that is their God-given right.
Don’t let these brave guys be deprived—
the Afghan war should be revived.
Our growing boys deserve the chance
to savor war’s renowned romance.
Don’t bring them home—we still might win.
If not, let’s some new war begin.
Please pray these wars will never cease—
may God protect us from pale peace.

Apology: The bribe offered by the military-industrial complex to write this was too big to refuse.

Dear Tom,
So far I much appreciated your being the editor of the Humanistic Psychology Journal and faculty at Saybrook, but only now I truly realize your gift for poetry and humor – thank you for making me laugh, so much needed in our times..
Having TRANSCEND honor you by publishing your poem is well deserved.
love, peace, respect,
Ingrid
