Old Men Talk
 

This poem was written for Brooke, my son, as he demonstrated at Mather AFB in Sacramento California (USA). On April 1, 1985, he participated in the Sacramento for Peace rally that demanded the removal of nuclear weaponry. Now I am a grandfather dedicated to finding ways to encourage international peace.
