I'm not into poetry but every once in a while a poem comes along that
rocks me. Listen to "My Roots Run Deep" by Bobby LeFebre. Also listen to
the entire Tiahui Podkast #5 for other poetry especially a poem by Lil
Milagro that gives a Women's perspective about War and those that suffer
in its aftermath. - Nuestros Ranchos
