Jalapeno Peppers

it is a price his soul spirit was willing to pay
with his actions he proved
his preaching’ words were false
as he, himself didn’t practice them.
Larry Craig spoke the truth when he said
“I am not gay!”
the truth being
gays are NOT predators.
Well and of course not
before his public exposure
which changed his “guilty” plea
to “not guilty”, not even
a nice […]

breaking from the waist again
perfume departed long ago
today sex now selling
macaroni and cheese on TV
pickle heads believe all they see
how do you get an ever expanding economy?
create desires where there are none
sell it with a catchy tune, sex and prestige
rose buds dying in their bed of thorns
fly and buy ourselves to war
when rose was taken […]

truths that are self evident are truths of a selves majority
against a government solution
if government is of the people so too the solution
when the government’s solution
is not the people’s solution
we have a royalty making the laws
“it’s all the fault of the welfare state”
royalty creates two welfare states
welfare for them
which creates the need
for welfare for the […]

with the Ballad of the Green Beret
he song and danced us into Vietnam
Who’s left to remember
the oil embargo on Japan preceding Pearl Harbor
or that Cuba did not blow up the Maine
“Do not speak ill about the dead.”
ok, maybe John Wayne gets to watch
“Good Morning, Vietnam!” for an eternity
or choose to reincarnate
“Delta Force and CIA
Marines and […]

it never rains in Minneapolis in the summer time
and god didn’t make little green apples
they were only picked too soon
and Bill O’Reilly show us you really care
and make your bid on Kieth Olberman’s cast
(that you too signed)
let your feet walk the talk
support our troops
support the yellow ribbon campaign
does it matter where the message came from
when […]

that simple, that’s all
break down and cry
cry for the human species
hardened to harm an other
cry for love lost
on the material girl
and the material boy
cry for all the fear filled people
who gird themselves with neckties
with gated communities
the daisy turns into a mushroom cloud
little Johnny running thru the streets
on fire and bare naked
How can you be that […]

boots all around
boots on the ground
then along comes Poland
“A people,
united,
will never be defeated.”
let go of the pride and the fall
will not be so precipitous
the whole of human history
is one of empire building
sometimes religious sometimes secular
but ever more and ever more
falling, falling, all fall down
in Poland
in country
after country
“A people,
united,
will never be defeated.”
the people’s revolution is, often,
stolen […]

thank you for listenin’ up
to all our emails, posts, et al
’cause we got a lot of questions.
do ears get pointier as they burn?
is as lonely as they say at the top
where even yer dog bites the hand
that fucks the world behind its back?
no dear Bushites Cheneykins
with our lungs chained to an oxygen tank
come on […]

As long as our electorate is divided between the range of 40-60
the rich Money Changers in the Dem’s and Rep’s parties
will control US foreign policy
with their carrots and sticks will lead party
to vote their way or get the stick
to vote their way and get the carrots
history was over in 1989?
(meaning capitalism is severed from governance)
declared […]

hack homiliers here
among them’alls ad hominems,
don’t drink from that bright colored cup made in China
you’ll die from lead poisoning in 20 years, he said
to a COPD tobacco puffer,
a souvenir from St. Louie Louie,
but when she sat the cup atop her Bugler can
and taps it with her fingernail it chimes
she wanders if
when emptied it will sound […]

3 p.m. in Georgia, hot and humid
3 a.m. in Nuevo Mexico
i set my coffee down, leave the room
when my most available friend cries
“it’s spilled all over the place!”
it ran down the rocker turning red
more innocent blood
another crazed working mother
Congress spends another $460 billion
for Pentagonal warfare
and momma works double time
while down in the deep south
Christians chant […]

you die George /w Bunker and Osama /w Cave
each little light lost deminishes us the more
when we are snuffers of any light indicating life
we become less human than our best intentions
9/11 was a wake-up call for Americans
set aside Bush and bin Laden’s lethal logic
it requires of a great republic democracy
to admit to past and present […]

Even Eisenhower never would have dreamed
the military would be security for contractors
dolling out dollars smack in the middle
of a Civil War in Iraq
build ‘em up
bomb ‘em down
build ‘em up again
well yeah, Ike was an old man
then retiring and seeing more clearly
and who remembers
in the writing of Ike’s farewell speech
he wanted to be quoting as saying
“Military-Industrial-Congressional […]

i hope you included the words of Osama bin Laden
when he told us 9/11 was about our military on Saudi soil
and our partisan supporting of Israel
we are like a bad marriage
the left and the right
sometimes never seeing before the divorce
there is always a grain of truth on both sides
or maybe you have said about JFK
that […]
