We are all cannon fodder
For the beast called 'War'

Wars are constant, on going

Our lives are filled
With Critical moments,
I call them
High Noon moments.

Comedians in America die young
Perhaps, for having too much fun

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America,

Except for those celled at GITMO

There is a lack of civility
In this day and age.

Darwin is very much an American poet, but also a citizen of the world. His poems are mainly about modern, important issues, which he expresses clearly, not too many words but sparkling imagery. One of the finest poets writing in the U.S.today.
