Reflections on a Summer Eventide

The red sun slid below the tree line. The horses quietly grazed. I drove home - windows, moon roof wide-open, tree frogs, insects a cacophonous symphony. Past the farmer’s fallow field flickering with fireflies, a lone silhouette of a deer warily watched. Iraq war? My shame red as the sun.

Like the person in the "poem",I too am ashamed to be an American. What must it be like now to travel overseas. I remember back in the late 60's and 70's meeting German tourists and thinking of their shame when asked their nationality. Well, now one can always say, "I'm a Canadian."
