This poem I write
is dedicated
to those who lost their lives
and were mutilated
by their own kind,
blinded by hatred and greed.
That's what you must feel
to watch your own species bleed.
But there we stood
stronger than ever,
showing love to our friends,
while our own hearts were severed.
I dedicate this poem
to those up in heaven
who lost their lives
to 9-11.

in one of the 10-week intensive yoga/meditation/council classes that I taught
at the Glenwood Boys Camp through the non-profit Youth Horizons (now the "Mind-Body Awareness Project"). Camp
Glenwood is a juvenile facility up in the mountains where teenage boys
of San Mateo County who are arrested and sentenced to 6 months or longer
serve their time.
