Our Mission,

Long Island Friends of WBAI

Following is a statement for our mission which was approved at our meeting on December 8, 2001, but is certainly open for further modification in the future: Our basic mission is to preserve free speech, non commercial public radio in our community and in our nation, that is free speech to let peple know the uncensored truth about issues, rather than radio to simply attract more listeners or generate more income. We also will try to be a conduit of information for the many organizations on Long Island and the metropolitan area who also support free speech..

--------------------------------------------------------- Here is a poem entitled "A few Brief Candles" written by Charlotte Koons after the vigil on February 15, 2004 in Northport:

Long Island Friends of WBAI

In Barcelona, Spain, tens of thousands filled the streets once again, to commemorate a World Against War when tens of millions had marched just the year before.

Long Island Friends of WBAI

Here in the U.S.A. it was a bone-cold, Ides of February day

Long Island Friends of WBAI

and in a small Long Island town

Long Island Friends of WBAI

two times ten stood with candles at their feet,

Long Island Friends of WBAI

sheets of names clutched in frost-bitten hands.

Long Island Friends of WBAI

633 names of soldiers who

Long Island Friends of WBAI

had died in the invasion of Iraq.

Long Island Friends of WBAI

633 men & women

Long Island Friends of WBAI

who came back draped in flags

Long Island Friends of WBAI

who came back in body bags,

Long Island Friends of WBAI

As the sun set, a new rainbow peace banner flew

Long Island Friends of WBAI

in the chilling harbor wind

Long Island Friends of WBAI

And each of us stepped up,

Long Island Friends of WBAI

Stoically, we read them,

Long Island Friends of WBAI

By lantern light, we read them

Long Island Friends of WBAI

and beat a muffled drum, chanting:

Long Island Friends of WBAI

"O Mitauke oyasin";

Long Island Friends of WBAI

Lakota for: "We Are All One". And when it was done...

Long Island Friends of WBAI

Some witnessed as to why they had come

Long Island Friends of WBAI

And all sang "We Shall Overcome... Some Day"

Long Island Friends of WBAI

No, I will never say it was all to no avail,

Long Island Friends of WBAI

So, I thank you all, dear readers,

Long Island Friends of WBAI

And, with you, trust that, peace will prevail... some day
