will every Christian admit
they secretly have always believed
the End Times would come in their lifetime
and that all Christians of All Times alike
logically believed this if they believed that
when the peoples of the Earth destroy it
they will say “God did it!”
even when some mad scientists testify
we do not have global warming
even when the earth is covered with nuclear waste
will they say “George did it!”
and if the few who somehow survive
find a poem describing how
it happened that a teacher
of how to obtain world peace
was crucified and made a God
to worship and atoned for their sins
so they could keep on keeping on sinning
even as they knelt down and worshiped
the author of those words:
‘Thou shalt not kill”
and will they remember and understand
it was the status quo they feared to lose
even as they knew the hordes were starving
How much blood does it take to keep one man
as the most powerful man in the world, Bush?
Answer: an infinite amount!

immigration vs Iran war
is it ironic or diabolical
the whole country
is focused on immigration
even as our Bush league
administration
threatens yet
another war?

bomb? attack? Iran with the nuclear option not discounted.
concerned about this possibility?
already a war that fewer and fewer people support
resources are stretched beyond our financial limits while
health care, education and the environment suffer sever loses
Are we going to let it happen because we are silent?
Mexican Miners and the Illegal Removal of Their Leader, Napoleon Gomez
February 19, 2006, a gas explosion at the Pasta de Conchos mine in
Mexico killed 65 Mexican miners. The Mexican government cut
short rescue efforts, sealing the mine before the bodies were even
recovered. Napoleon Gomez, democratically elected president of
Los Mineros, the Mexican miner’s union, immediately demanded a
thorough investigation into the explosion; accusing the government
of negligence and calling for the investigation and removal of their
Minister of Labor. Immediately following this, the Mexican
government under President Vicente Fox and Secretary of Labor,
Francisco Salazar, illegally removed Gomez from his position and
replaced him with union dissident Elias Morales.
Because of this illegal, hostile action 270,000 Mexican miners and
metal workers launched a three-day nation wide strike. The freedom,
liberty and rights of these Mexican workers have been violated and
are still under assault! The Steelworkers signed a strategic alliance
with Los Mineros last April, committing each organization to defend
the human rights of our respective members. We are taking action
and demanding that the Mexican government and Fox restore Gomez
as head of Los Mineros and to stop bullying independent labor unions
and respect the workers democratic right to choose their own unions
and leaders.
We are asking you to call the Mexican Embassy toll-free
at 1-800-311-1889 to tell them:
-Support worker’s rights
-Stop Oppressive tactics that hurt workers
-Restore Gomez and cease heavy-handing unions and workers
How do you spell Freedom Day in Iraq?
Answer: Roadside bombs kill 3
troops gunned down five suspected insurgents,
and three others were killed in an airstrike
How do you spell history repeating?
It was the third Israeli airstrike
in Gaza in the past two days.
Israel says the attacks are retaliatory.
The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades,
Hamas’ armed wing, has vowed to
avenge the Israeli attacks.
Vincent
Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer’s day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they’ll listen now.
Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they’ll listen now.
For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.
Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget.
Like the strangers that you’ve met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they’re not listening still.
Perhaps they never will…
Winkler, Mary and Matthew
A Preacher, Church of Christ
with a wife who shoots him in the back
Selmer, Tennessee
“Listen, the Mary we knew didn’t do this,”
Anita Whirley said as she planted purple,
yellow and red pansies. “She was a wonder
ful person. We just don’t understand.”
Oh Mary Mary quite contrary to
the congregation’s information;
who knows the truth behind
behind closed doors?
Matthew Winkler, dead and gone,
gone to meet his Maker, a victim yes,
innocent? who knows, the police
that’s who; they are not telling
except to deny infidelity of either
wife or dead husband.
The A. P. quoted an official as saying
an Afghan court had dismissed the case
against Rahman because of a lack of evidence.
He said several family members of Rahman
have testified that he has mental problems.
“I am serene. I have full awareness of what I have chosen.
If I must die, I will die.” Rahman told Rome daily La Repubblica.
“Somebody, a long time ago, did it for all of us,”
he added in a clear reference to Jesus.
Rahman reportedly converted 16 years ago (1990)
WHY IS THIS A STORY IN March 2006?
Gen. Shahmir Amirpur, who is in charge of Policharki,
said Rahman had been begging his guards to give him a Bible.
Who the Christian who the Jew who the Muslim
more importantly – who started this war?
Not Mary, Not Rahman, Not Matthew – all victims victimized
who suffers most? Always and every war?
…the children period.

Hello mother hello father
this is Johnny in Iraq
don’t you know the ears are growing
phone calls to and from ‘other countries’
include Iraq
and mother’s sons and daughters
we can tell you we are lonely
but not, we want, to come home
you can tell us that you miss us
but if you tell us come home, they will brig us
demote us degrade us but never let us
consciously object to following orders
Iraq quagmire is our quagmire
we can’t tell you, of the thousands
of us
MASHed out of duty from disease
you can’t tell us of the 18 new bodies found in New Orleans
yesterday and more days after Katrina
the body count, mysteriously stays, at 1,422
oh poor Uncle Sam
how did we let them make you, the eyes and ears of the world
and our bedrooms
how did right get it so wrong
mother father when you find me
standing trial at Nuremberg will it still be
“Following orders is not an excuse.”

The Seed of the Burning Tree
i stand knee deep in burning coals
waist high in bombs bursting light
eyes filled with poisonous gas
ears to the crackling wind
i kneel deep in daisy filled garden
soft breeze caressing my face
tear drops coursing the river
bird song in my ear
i lie on the ground hugging
holding least i fall further
than i can remember being
down in the deep deep well
i turn to face my Maker
i cry, “o Maker face me!”
give me just one reason,
or take this cup.”
the crackling wind is silent
the air is sweet & pure
i see a tree in the garden
it burns but does not die
“My child, & you are my child
My love, and you are my love
You are the seed of the burning
Tree, and you and I are one.”

This time set for a perpetual “Cold War”.
Ever seen a row of Dominoes fall down?
It begins with we the people
taking back our Beautiful America
politicians telling us what they can do for US
Let them listen to US tell them what we want.
In the beginning it was
“Owe my soul to the company store.”
In new Mexico it is becoming
“Owe our state to the company store.”
In the US of A, without the help of
we the people, we shall become
“Owe our homeland to the company store.”
Today, 50% of American workers tax dollars pay for
current and past military spending. When it reaches
80%, High Rollers will control 100% of our privacy rights.
