“be be be” all the way home

shivering and shaking
he only wants home

all these many years
ago the leaving
his only choice..
this/that or war

he was
a fool hearted lover
danced with the dancing queens

did he play the lover’s game
as it was played on him?
no se

i only know

we choose
our lessons by our path

it is as our muse says
of snaggles,
“Love embraces,
then moves on.”
welcome to September

Jasmine Light

nothing needs too make sense anymore
hear them laughing in their ass as they
shell out cash of buying an election
seeing it matters not
to their followers when they spew
lie after lie after lie

i’ve already cried if they win
today’s facebook pinhead
deleted my responses to his post
when he didn’t want any more truth
but he read the words and they
are in my head as they are his
“I’d rather stand in line at a soup kitchen
than have a president who would lie us into war.”
it was when repeated my anti-war
i was defriended

futurerama gave me back
beloved Ali McBeal
and the remembering

we were so much dumber then
we’re smarter than that now

thanks and praises
creators of our information global highway
come on down
when you want to go fishing
or bird watching or feeding birds
of many color and song
or visit Jasmine Light
not to worry
she’s potted and moved
up west

Mitt Romney without sound

as long as no one’s 100% robot
no one has 100% control of body language
(but training gets it pretty high –
ask the actor on a stage)
yes, first, i listened enough
to hear some emphasis on wrong words
and yes
the tell tell of Romney’s body language
was quite subtle, easy to miss
in orating a script
here it is spelled out

the right upper corner of his top lip
ever so slightly curls up
at the end of a thought

check it out for yourself
as we can expect endless
repetition

what does a one sided curled up lip suggest?
ask lobo

present perfect politics

There would be NO Obama care if House Republicans hadn’t voted for it
(that was a note to his detractors)

(this is a note to his supporters)
he made all those promises
too many of us thought he could do it alone
many of us joined the voice of a cause
win or lose we know
in a viral environment he did what he could
we did what we did or could
and we are so much calmer now
perhaps our calm will beget calm

thoughts on world peace

the goal is worthy but the getting there is
most likely many generations away
like
evolution takes a very long time
and the world peace hope
gets grabbed by self promotion etc.
and we get distracted
from the steps that get us there

one step seeks peace within the self
two step seeks peace within a community
three step seeks peace within a nation

are you peaceful tonight
does it seem out of sight
tell me dear
are you peaceful tonight

Hatfields and the McCoys
is where we were then
back where an eye for an eye was not enough
re hating the whole clan (or tribe)
where are we now
but hating a whole clan (or Muslims)
not only did we not act like Christians
(turn the other cheek)
we didn’t even act like Jews
(eye for an eye)
and no
we are not all the same
in our hating choices
as if we’ll never learn
the object of our hate does not suffer
we do
our body does
our mind does
our soul does
but the spirit lives
the very same one we are born with
let it go
set it free
then do the right thing
this land is my land
this land is your land
from California to the New York Island
from the Red red Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters
this land was made for you AND me
might we not learn to respectfully disagree?
<------------------------- this way to peace.

Wrecked Prose For Jeff D. Opdyke

if all you people rolling in money from rolling up stock portfolios
took $25,000 and invested in alternative energy
they might help this planet last an extra two years
“It’s not easy being green.”
it’s not easy because to few people are being green
pricier hybrid cars
solar panels insanely pricey
and yes
rich yuppies are doing us a favor when they go green
IF
the manufacturers of these products are Ford like
Fordable so to say…
and realize mass production and lower cost per unit
allows even their workers to go green

“But philosophy doesn’t pay my bills.”

Nor did philosophy create your bills.
Philosophy is there to help you understand things
like you can not have a war on terror with terror.

“I want to do it,” Tara says.
“But it will take decades before it makes financial sense.”

Angela Jolene says, “Do it because it is

do.”

here comes da judge!

“Trust Me” says the Bush
as he gives us a dark horse
nobody needs a litmus test
we, his dissenters, question
will this be the first time
we have reason to trust Bush?
Will the real evangelicals
win by a dark horse
of biblical proportions?

Bush: No artificial time table to leave Iraq.

?

We are not looking for anything artificial Mr. Bush
We are looking for a date certain to leave Iraq and end
your artificial reason for staying

Nor are we looking for artificial indignation
of crucifying a Mustang who believed
“nappy-headed ho” was a joke,
maybe he, like I, have heard the next generation
jokingly call their peers “ho”
words – like “ho” and “bastard” lose their sting
when they take on common usage
or as the women’s coach of the women’s basketball,
Rutger’s team, said yesterday,
“No one can make you feel inferior,
unless you let them.”

Can we hate the sin without hating the sinner?
Give Bush a bill with a date certain and
without pork, Congressmen.
Women of Rutger’s,
if you would know the sincerity of Imus’ apology
visit his ranch in New Mexico and meet the children
with cancer, to which he provides camping experiences.

What does Sharpton and Bush have in common?
They both believe “Out of sight out of mind”
If we don’t see our dead soldiers returning in coffins
everything is going fine in Iraq.
If Imus gets axed we won’t hear
the street language of our ghettos.

What does Imus and Bush not have in common?
Imus says what he thinks and apologizes
when he learns he has offended a team of young ladies.
Bush says what he thinks we want to hear.

Who would make a better leader?

655,000 Iraqis dead! “It’s all about politics,” one expert said.

amen! politics are deadly
diamonds are a girl’s best friend
baby girls for sale
politics are deadly to the indigenous
foreign policy is deadly to Americans
divide 655,000 by 3,000
and ask what one American life is worth
torture is an American Value
habeas corpus is dead
which kills all civil liberties

“Will the real Americans
flush this political toilet?”

27 days to election and counting…
