O. Anna Niemus Quotes
6 million kangaroos a year are sentenced to summary execution
in Australia by a kangaroo court, a government dominated
by cattle, sheep, and roo butchers.
One writer sees cows grazing and describes the scene
as bucolic, paradisical, while another recounts a concentration
camp for animals, where like Hansel and Gretel, they are held

their tanks of blood fuel. But the mosquito's load
unlike its machine copycat is within God's will.

The wealth that is blessed and not cursed is money invested
in fruit trees, not in liverwurst.
Some put aphorisms in fortune cookies.
Activists print words on bumper stickers
and tshirts.
Others stitch scriptural quotes on pillows.
Advertisers pay to put subliminal script
into our cerebral cortex.
Words are chiseled into gravestones
and the pedestals of generals on
the backs of enslaved horses.
Beyond words is the silence of communion
with all creation.
The shattering of the pedestal on which she was placed
gave her unprecedented liberty.
