the senate was still debating

february 3, 1998

whether the airport in washington
should be renamed for ronald reagan
as karla faye tucker died in texas
a lethal injection
weeping christian soldier conscience
a coalition without the vision
to go all the way
to see the injustice
for the thousands
of death rows
the condemned by societies
bottom-line bureaucracies
prison growth fund annuities
another big uptick
wall street prophesy
