a rictameter in loving memory of Mary Travers
A chapter in the book The Rictameter
Voices Never Heard

Before the dead are gone, before their blood has spilt in poppy red upon the ground and anguished screams become more muffled sound, why won't we let the words be heard imploring us, "No more!" from those who've gone before? |

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
The world is so much poorer today with the passing of Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary, whose beautiful and impassioned voice never failed to remind us of all we ought to strive to be. I would have written a poem about her, but I am so sure she would rather have all of us who believed as she did in peace with justice, use our words instead to speak out for what is right.
