Poetry by Tim WindischUghUgh Galloping madly across the devils playground  Swooshing down the slide deep into the ground  Down where the fires burn both night and day A reversal of fortune because you’ll never play All of the glitter that made me dream of this place  Horrific images replayed daily I wish I could erase I’m enslaved by the dream that one day all will be well  Till then I’m trapped in this prison living alone in hell Tim Windisch  10/25/202

Poetry by Tim WindischEarth day 22Earth day 22 52 years ago, a junior senator from Wisconsin saw an oil spill Standing on the shores of Santa Barbara watching oil covered birds Flew home thinking there’s a job to do and I won’t rest until We find a way to fix the problem, we need action more than words He stood up tall and said “There’s no issue more critical to mankind than the quality of the environment in which we live” Keeping our earth healthy was forever on his mind
