Even though I'm not Mormon and probably didn't pick up on the Mormon theology, this was such a beautiful poem with subtle yet beautiful imagery. I think my favorite lines were "to run hand in hand with you/our mothers' mother's mother's/at our back."
"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language." - W.H. Auden
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices; to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicions can destroy. A thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own. — Rod Serling, Twilight Zone
