While it is true that
Columbia University’s President Lee C. Bollinger
was “brutally honest,”
it is also true that
Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
was also “brutally honest”.
The first shame, Bob,
was the sin of omission.
The second shame, Robert,
was the snide remark you made
following Bill Richardson’s comments,
“Next we will have a real expert.”
Did he think he could erase from his viewers memory

Bol Linger see Lee
egg rolling
Mah Moud Almadine, ja?
el shamo esta center stage
la learning is seeing

is it money or blood dripping down the chin

truth is in the debate
and the refusal to debate
The Ugly American
The Iran Gay Killer

it was a holy tree
hewed to the ground
used for the ugly sin of racism
ugly head of gottahavesomeone to hate
holy lives so confused
“Who is winning the human race?”
the writer penned and
“We lived each moment
like it was the first,
or the last,”
reflecting on the ’60’s revolution.
It was a revolutionary revolution
nearly bloodless
save for Kent State

come in again
are you here yet?
it’s tea time in China
roll another cigarette
the story is over
did we have a happy end?
just so many dawns before the light
a new beginning
what the sacred
who the profane
will it be the last hug best
or the hug that lasts the best?
forgive me i am playing now
memorable days
they we only gazed
as our fanciful […]

top Democrat Bosses barred
presidential candidate Kucinich
from the Iowa debate the stepping stone
out of the gate to get the first electoral votes
the race
to keep the voters from hearing any more
common wealth ideas from Dennis
Iowa oh Iowa your corn
is better served as food for starving nations
know the truth of polluting ethanol
the magic in the cornfield is more […]

Those who take the meat from the table
Teach contentment.
Those for whom the contribution is destined
Demand sacrifice.
Those who eat their fill speak to the hungry
Of wonderful times to come.
Those who lead the country into the abyss
Call ruling too difficult
For ordinary men.

the Snake loses it’s head
fig leaves hide nothing
the surge worked, change was
Shiite cleansing from Sunni neighborhoods
Sunni cleansing from Shiite neighborhoods
even despite some founded love and intermarried

who needs a hell
when the anguish is so great
in the flashbacks of our lives
in a nation soo chasmically divided
all sides accusations holding a piece of the truth
it was a bird
a flippin’ floppin’ toady bird
that bit the apple
that Eve gave Adam
and a Snake
that slick-slacked US to war.
was 9/11 a near death experience for US?
are we so […]

Wha da ya mean
I cant surge thru to the end of my term

Didn’t Dick tell ‘em, you know,
those things called “them the people”,
hell’s belly, even Saddam told ‘em
“It will be a blood bath if we,
the US, attack them.”
(Dick always speaks King’s English)
What was the plan going in?
“We’ll low ball the […]

where did all the knowledge go
long time gone no
the evolution of the human species
carries the DNA
that led to the knowledge
the writers
of the books of Alexandria
wrote
though burned
the loss

the little lamb has
but one “Bah” Michael?
baa baa black sheep

I know you are you say
home is where the heart is
and did you […]
