                                       A Kiss

This ain’t a simple song—
Wasn’t me said so.
This ain’t a simple poem—
Wasn’t me said so. 
Was me, though, said this:
Nothin’s complex as a kiss,
It alters many a course,
It put the Man on a cross. 
Nothin’s simple in a kiss—
Was me said this.

War Hawk

            I will never understand
                  hunting deer, elk, or pheasant
                            when killing my fellow man
                                    appears to be as pleasant.
