Mother Mary Come To Me

Joseph repairing the boat
Michael rowing to shore
there is no going home
with troops in landlocked
greeenzone, save, not safe
deathly quiet there
on the Middle East front
as Big Brother takes control
Dr. Catherine Wilkerson jailed
for protesting police brutality
committed on citizens
peacefully protesting in Michigan…
explained last July by a cop
in Central, Colorado,
“We can do anything we want
now that we have
homeland security!”
Jesus Joseph!
Set our mothers free!!!

Wolf Wolf Bush Musharraf?

(t)here’s a growing number
of Bush administration officials who
believe Pervez Musharraf
won’t survive current crisis.
Consequently,
an increasing number of discussions
about Pakistan’s future
and how they could ensure
a smooth transition to a new leader,
all while making it seem as if they’re not
actually playing behind-the-scenes.

Wolf wolf!

Is there a Bhutto in the house?

Shangri-La renamed Camp David?

The rich eat gold leaves while their children eat lead toys?

What is the difference between a Christian wanting rapture
fully believing all others will suffer a hell on earth
and a Muslim who wants 70 virgins and all it takes
is blowing up as many infidels as possible?

Sex offenders placed in nursing home
and seniors were sexually assaulted
Tim, that’s a Paw’lenty gross!

Religious Bigot? Bill O’Reilly Newt Gingrich?

who exactly is not tolerant of whom?

is there anyone out here in the real world
who want to pass a law prohibiting Christianity? NO

is there anyone out there in Christianity
who want to pass a low prohibiting abortion
because THEY are against it? YES

who wants an insane man executed
and angry because it has not yet happened
then boldly claims she has forgiven him?

who gave Ronald Kessler his talking point
“We’re being suicidal in not believing Bush
about nuclear weapons in Iran because he lied
to us about WMD’s in Iraq.” ?

C’mon Bill
IAEA lied?

O Do You Remember

when everything was good
and everything was clean
was it the luck-of-drawn
quartering nothing
4.5 billion years ago
we were all one
each one an energy of four
a one all mighty to behold
a four almighty to be bold
learning all those edgy things
thus gave us room to soar
with only partial information
of how to fly we flew
speed warping wide expanding
universe colidings
step on my blue suede shoes if you miss
but spare these talking toes
foot in mouth howling moon
too close becomes a scream
to far becomes an empty howl
head banging warning
“Here comes another explosion!”
my dear other
you speak i chime
in all the wonders of the word
when everything was clean
and everything was good

As the World Turns, O America

in the days of our years there was folly
adventure and unconsciousness
between the blessings and the curses
date rape toys and devil music
wars are psychological now
death thru derth and sundry.
the faith is in the dream
the dream is in the making
our bloodless civil war
rages
on the superhighway
of information.
the whole world is watching
this unique time in human history
with two sides to every story
from bottom up there is glory
from top down there is gory
from inside out they are starving
from outside in they are feasting.
it is a tired
but true story
empires coming and going
religions coming and going
civil wars and not so civil wars.
there is hope, eh, Michael?
there Is hope, Huey.
AT&T is cursed today
for collecting ALL of our communications
will AT&T be blessed tomorrow?
given all this information
there can be no doubt
75% of Americans are conscious now
America’s dirty laundry is on the line
as is personal dirt and international dirt
the world, still, is turning
will America realize her dream
or become one more Empire
falling?

Lou Dobbs White Catholic Boy Fears

when a caller to Larry King Live asks
why Lou only reads favorable emails on his show
Larry asks Lou if he gets many unfavorable emails
which became the only moment in Lou’s diatribe
against illegal immigration
he had to pause then mutter,
“We get very few unfavorable emails.”
Even Bill O’Reilly with his also Catholic mentality
has a security to read a few of his unfavorables.
in that short moment of pause
what was Mr. Dobbs thinking?
No one’s counting?
His hired help who processes them would not betray him?
Here’s the rub:
Are viewers of any controversy more likely to write
favorable or unfavorable, unless it’s Keith Olberman,
who follows in Edward R. Murrow’s footsteps,
the neen becomes overwhelming,
in our spin-a-day news media,
to send Keith a kudus, a bravo?
There’s a chink in your amore Mr. Lou
and it points to the same fear O’Reilly has aired:
“They” are trying to undermine the seats of power
we white boys have acquired.
Here’s the death of “we”:
American Foreign Policy.

It is not “enhanced interrogation technique”, it is TORTURE(.)

David Rivkin says “yes” to water boarding
even after Abu Ghraib
even when our courts throw out confessions
obtained from torture
even when it is against National
and International Law
i note the only time Rivkin stuttered
this morning on C-SPAN
was when a caller asked him
“why don’t you subject yourself to water boarding”
i hope Rivkin doesn’t call himself a Christian
which means, by essence, “following Christ”
cause torture is NOT what Christ would do
who can ask for mercy on their souls
when they gave no mercy?

Why and oh why
when we know torture elicits false information
do “they” use it?
Their can be no other reason than
they want to use this false information
to pretend new “terrorists” threats
for no other reason
than to secure
“their” absolute power.

Dick Chenny Slip’o de Tongue

was Hugo Chaves on Dick’s mind
when Dick slipped and said Peru
or is a storm gathering in Peru
to oust Alan GarcĂ­a who
welcomes US free trade agreement
even as Alan G. works to privatize
drinking water
for peasant many of whom
have barely food?
