EARTHKEEPING NEWS
A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY


Volume Ten, Number Three
March/April 2001


The privacy of words
Ah, it is tempting
To travel the quiet path.
Be positive.
Raise no discouraging word.
Affirm the Emperor's new clothes.
But it cannot be done.
Reality demands more.
Justice calls for the hidden deal
To be shouted from the housetops.
So much of life
Is an affront to life.
The me myself of one refuses;
For children look for charts
To live their lives.

j.j. adam, 1995, Orlando
