Elegiac
Once upon a time on a planet
named Earth, lived misguided be
ings programed at birth For cen
turies and centuries they pro
gressed and prevailed, through
the twentieth century they mind
lessly sailed. In the 1960's they
actually stood as one, too bad
they could not realize what had
been won For those days were
soon tossed out of line, and the
beings hopped cm towards their
decline Destroyed by material
goals and false prosperities, Pac
Man, jelly beans, and M-16's
became toys of the eighties. The
misguided beings had forgotten
their past, too ignorant and self
centered to comprehend the ef
fects of a blast Black rights, gay
rights, whales and seals, the right
to choose, and school children's
meals All were great causes but
there was a major miscall, the
madmen had created enough
missiles to end all And one day it
happened to all beings' surprise,
the ERA, whales, seals, and
Chryslers melted in front of their
eyes If life still had existed the
next day around, perhaps the be
ings then would have found, that
what mattered most before their
great self-destruction, was to
stand together and fight the con
struction, of the bombs that melt
all men, women, and children,
regardless of their occupation,
sex, race, or religion.

Torture
Snitching sweets from babies is
one thing Salting them is another,
but Fetal Facts has to take the
cake with April 13’s informative
morsel. "At 11 to 12 weeks, the
unborn baby is very sensitive to
touch, recoiling from a pinprick."
Good Lord — they’re publicizing
torturous tests of pre-infant
agony What else is the little fella
"very sensitive" to? Thumps on
the nose? Vise Grips crushing the
feet? Shades of Rhesus Monkey
"experimentation.”
If punishing poor womb-ridden
tots is the aim of the Oregon Right
to Life Education Foundation,
then we ll have nothing to do with
it
