Still In Their Burkas

!

still the guilt ridden ones fearing exposure
buy lies
remember Christiane Amanpour enacting the visual
and the feeling of walking around with only eyes showing
and only in public when accompanied by a man
is it Pepsi or Coke or McDonalds
feeding the masses the forget-it-pill?
yes
the list of promises broken are deadly
did righty forget how to read substance?
how many are happy Bush got his war dollars?
did we go to war for oil?
take out your video of Iraq War 1991
where some brave reporter
asked a soldier with boots on the ground
“Is it worth risking your life
to have cheaper gas at the pump?”
and YES, the soldier replied “yes”
But don’t say that aloud it hurts my right eye.
Why is it so hard to admit we have been scammed?
The status quo for the haves
has been captured by fear
(how long will it take before they see:
it looks a lot like perpetual fear?)
ok
my confession
i was hit by a commedian before coming here

You Didn’t Have To Give Him the Money, Congress

the educated lower class will shut up with a minimum wage hike
along with whatsoever pork attached to negotiating away
those darer to hope’rs holding their breath
that sanity would reign, alas
#2 military man in Iraq who took a moral stand
fired by CBS
so powerful are they who have taken America into a quagmire
scary as hell, heah yeah
the rain falls gently from this evening’s clouds
quenching the flowers that bloom in May
and lamenting the flowers that die in Iraq
of course greed is an addiction and knows no limits
gimme anuder sagga ta bagga
i’m movin’ on…

Reagan’s Diary

of course the pages dealing with the Middle East
were redacted from the public
means Reagan’s Middle East secrets are still for security
which allows that there has been Middle East secrets since then
oh yeah
Iran/Contra
when US taxpayers dollars go into the Reagan Library
we will never get our monies worth until
the secret Ronald Reagan
is fully revealed thru his personal non-redacted diary

while up let’s go for Bush II’s library
if it does not contain the fact that he is a stripper
it will be not worthy
he stripped the light from the torch of Lady Liberty
he stripped the blindfold out of “Justice is blind”
he stripped one million+ voters of their voting rights
oh yeah
that’s what got us to here…

our burning Bush goes on killing killing
until he replaces Saddam with a willing Puppet
the will of the people scream louder
but not to hope
we have already been warned
“I’ll go on killing if only Laura and my dog believe in my cause.”
anybody counting
how many of his VERY OWN selected staff he has axed?
no need to count the axed staff as whistleblowers
when a whore accepts money for his actions
the only haggle left is the price
of selling one’s soul
to a burning up Bush.

did young man George go “Oh shit!”
when he reached mock speed
or did he shit and go “Never again!”
and that’s why the National Guard could not find him?

angry? afraid? happy? fulfilled? or acting?

Anna Mae Aquash

if Anna Mae Aquash can be the rain

i can be the breeze

that carries bird songs

to your ear

no more mountains to ascend

no more hills to take a stand

only gentle falling rain’s memory

of soft paws and warm heart

We Came Back As Your Grandchildren

!

see how we paint and pierce our bodies?
Custer came back as and Indian does it
make anyone’s blood boil and would that be
the red man’s or the white man’s blood boiling?
what if we bonk someone and the person we bonked
will carry with him the right to bonk the bonker when he reincarnates
like a movie stuck on rerun
the only way off is to stop bonking
those who are rattlers and shakers
drummers and myth makers
understand all hoops have been broken
i’m ok if yer ok
now our circle widens
even as it heals
with no shame throw the first rock
with no sorrow stand up and cheer
my loss is heavy with me
my love says letting go
is what we do with flowers and stars
when the world turns…
but i’m dreaming
waiting for someone to say
“We are all illegal immigrants!”

What Republican Would Not Sacrifice Our Children For Oil?

Honorable Congressman Ron Paul would NOT.
(Republican and from TEXAS, even)
The only presidential candidate for 2008
who has the courage to speak the truth
even as the nine other Republican candidates denounce him
for stating the obvious
9/11 was directly connected to American Foreign Policy
and NO
they don’t hate us for our wealth or way of life
IT IS NOT ENOUGH, Hillary Clinton,
to say “When I am president I will get us out of Iraq”
when it could be done today
with the constitutional power given congress
STOP
FUNDING THE WAR
PERIOD.

Who has the credentials to broker peace between Israel/Palestine?

?

Who brokered a peace treaty in the middle east that has held for 38 years?

Anwar Sadat, Jimmy Carter and Menachem Begin signed the Egypt-Israel treaty in Washington on March 26, 1979.

Amber Wilkerson, Republican spokeswoman said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also “challenged Ronald Reagan’s strategy for the Cold War.”

What was Ronald Reagan’s Cold War strategy? Iran/Contra.

Iran/Contra translated: Obtain illegal monies to finance the Contras when Congress refused funding.

What are the Republicans willing to sacrifice to stay in power by providing cheap gas?

OUR CHILDREN, that’s what!

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques

.

Mit Romney, the born-again Reagan
manicured and selling snake-oil
torture, by any other name, is still torture
the fear – a ticking time bomb
the tacky heart – the killer…
Tammy Baker is heard from from her death bed
on the very day of Falwell’s death accuses him
of stealing her and Jimmy Baker’s followers
who stole Billy Graham’s?
Not to worry, Rich Fat Cats
what you do unto others
will be done unto you
Not to worry, Compassionate Liberals
what you forgive others
will be forgiven you
Oh 18 top presidential candidates
who will deal with the devil
speak like a charismatic angel
promise security where there is none
it is
the nature of enslaved peoples
to revolt(.)

Bush’s Iraqi Puppet, Khalaf, Axes Photographing Bombings

?&!!@?

“Abdel Karim Khalaf, said this weekend that Iraq’s government decided to bar news photographers and cameramen from the scene of bombings.

If it was decided “this weekend” why did this announcement wait until today (Tuesday)?

“The order was aimed at preventing journalists from inadvertently tampering with evidence needed for investigations, protecting the privacy and human rights of those wounded and keeping insurgents and militias from keeping track of their success rate, Khalaf said.”

And who protects the human rights of those killed or maimed by the bombings – and the rights of their families and friends to know what happened to them?

“He denied that the new regulation was aimed at curtailing press freedoms, saying other countries have similar restrictions.”

Whatever “other countries” Khalaf is referring to ARE curtailing press freedoms(.)

What happens to a top when spun? Before it winds down it runs out of control.

the whole world is awaiting George’s departure……

I’ll remember the arrogance of power
I cannot find one reason to kill
a million Vietnamese
and 49,000 of my generation.
I cannot find a reason for that wall in Washington
I cannot find a single domino after all these years.
we argue that chaos will surely come if we leave.
and what is our definition of chaos,
little water and electricity
fear
bombs in the street,
in the market
death squads
smart bombs with collateral damage,
invaders kicking doors
kicking doors.
We must not cut and run.
I’m not,
I’ll stay right here
beside my comfortable
symbolic fire,
no sir
not gonna cut and run,
not me.
My sarcasm overcomes me
I throw myself across the room.
I hit the wall.
I throw ol’ T.S. against the other wall.
He who had his wife arrested in a restaurant,
had her committed,
went to Harvard
never visited.
This is the man we say
set our pace.
We
accepted his wasteland.
Do I dare to eat an apple?
Cast him off
let him drift away
on the ripples of
a new poetry
