Swastika Moon
Luna with her light of darkness
Reflecting Sol on Gaia’s face
Dancing with restrained abandon
Swirls within this holy place
All four corners so aligned
Holding to the Northern Star
While the heavens spin in silence
As you wish, so we are
(3/31/25)
People of Isreal the true
isrealites my own family
persecuted branded with
swastika during WW11
my pop hid Jewish people
from Hitler the use of the
swastika the taking of a
religious symbol used to
cause harm for the Jews
my prayers are with the
Jewish families Jewish
memorials are in place
for anyone in need of
comfort and healing
awareness saves lived
stop branded Isrealites
stop persecution of Jews
I am reminded of thee
cruelty and killing
of Jewish infants
reach out support our
Jewish communities
People of Isreal listen
People of Isreal pay attention
People of Isreal dance
People of Isreal shout for Joy
Swastikas hurt
(Wind River Sunrise, 2015)
Swastika Girls
In the Valley of Swat
The Holy Ghosts of rishis dwell
After all this time
All these changes
Nothing can erase
The lingering scent
Of gnosis
(10/7/23)
The swastika was not always a symbol of evil
But once it became one, there was no turning back.
SWASTIKA
What danger's now beneath our very eyes
born of forgetfullness? 0! Time it flies!
and before long, lays to the past
the very things we should have last,
but much too soon, all memory it dies;
and then the xenophobic nature shows,
from places where you'd never think it grows
and nourished by the futures' doubt
we feed on it, and let it out
until it's grown beyond what heaven knows;
all blame is layed to any who remind,
that they are grouped into another kind,
and when we need to symbolize
what's here and plain before our eyes,
a crooked cross is all that we can find.

The peace your arms once moved humanity and grace
Of luck and prosperity now echoes through nightmares and disgrace
For thousands of years you reperesnted so many cultures
Until propaganda branded you into an image of slaughter
You were sealed on the coin in the Great City of Troy
Adorned Indian textiles and spoken throuh Buddhist voice
Worn proudly on the sleeves of Americans during the first war
Even badged on a Boy Scouts until hitler made you a whore
The symbolism of the four cardinal directions
have they too lost their ways
Memories as old as ancient lost in time and misplaced
To you well being was to translate from svasti
Idolized by so many wanna be ignorant nazis
Genocide is your agenda but wipe that stupid look from your face
As you now know your tattooed not by your hero but a tan and yellow race
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You are a person who I truly detest.
You have a Swastika tattooed on your chest.
That Swastika is a symbol of hate.
It's time for somebody to set you straight.
You should not have a Swastika tattoo.
When people see it, they won't like you.
You say that you intend to start being a nice guy but that's something you'll have
to prove.
You can start by having that damn tattoo removed.
