What will become of us?


I made the mistake of starting my morning 
By reading a bit of national news 
And learned of the Arizona congressman 
Who said a Washington woman rep 
Should be executed for teaching folks 
Nonviolent resistance. 
So much for freedom of speech. 
I turn from my computer 
And stare sadly out my window 
At the newborn figs, 
Dancing in their branches in the rain.
