take my hand beloved
we’ll walk on thru this vex’ed land
full of little gods with giant posturing
where the meadowlark never sings
soul spirit lives in little things
we’re off to join other underlings
in the land of peace and plenty
Politics and holy stains
take my hand beloved
we’ll walk on thru this vex’ed land
full of little gods with giant posturing
where the meadowlark never sings
soul spirit lives in little things
we’re off to join other underlings
in the land of peace and plenty
John Warner John Warner
one powerful senator
opens the senate floor
with only one senator
99 having no prior notice?
brings up a bill
asks for objections
no one objects surprise surprise
John John approves the bill
and calls the session ended.
erstwhile exes
all be passes
If one says they are taking themselves too serious
isn’t it possible they are?
Can Rice be legally forced to only show success in Iraq,
or even any picture she paints for the world,
Or is there any outside force on Ms. Rice to orate
any thing she has clear knowledge is not true?
If so – is it not more honest, if it is honest,
to decline to answer as a matter of national security,
that is of course if we have even a few honest members
of OUR national security
to whistle blow when there is blatant dishonesty?
That depends on what “it” is.
If winning means Iraq will be a true democracy
where Sunni rights, as a minority, will be protected,
and women get equal rights,
and the Saddam trial is seen by the world
as a fair and equal judicial system,
that would be a world of good.
But
if “it” is
what worth, in other words
how much of our American democratic principles did we sacrifice
9/11 did strike fear into the hearts of Americans
a national 911 call so to say
and how many lying lies have we the people been told
to increase that fear as if
the 45 minutes to a real mushroom cloud was not enough fear
then that fear was proved falsified intelligent information
to the biggest lethal crooks in the world today are those who falsify “facts”
how trite and false the sound of “as a matter of fact” as if
calling something a fact makes it a fact
“Sloganeering from the Right and the Left does not enhance any debate”
How is Israel like America today?
Both are in a quagmire,
otherwise known as a stalemate.
Both leaders of these countries still believe
if they “just stay the course” they will win.
How long, O America, O Jerusalem,
is it 58 years now?
It is not Bolivians fault Americans want Cocaine
instead of the medicinal benefits of Coca.
The best of America is Beautiful
but she is no longer a teenager
one might say, middle age, the question is
will she still represent liberty in old age?
Save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
in exchange give tax cuts for billionaires.
That glee you smile while counting the money
will never add up to bliss
Raptor rapture leads to rupture
Ask the camel who wouldn’t be seen
in a needle’s eye.
here they come
shield to shield
arms at ready
a one body almighty force
moving down the people’s street
the people sit down a massive lake
one gigantic mirror
reflecting the warriors
steeled in iron, eyes masked
but not covered
will they now strike
downward like a wayward god
no
they don’t like seeing the blood too much
modern enforcers now only inflicting pain
pepper spray, mace, phosphorus
chemicals of mass pain and destruction
the final score:
once seen, the lake of humanity is
deny it mr. warrior the cost is loss of sanity
reality never did exist in technology
cameras and instant text
i.e. American Inventors is a big reality hoax
hoax no joke
this very moment Saxby Chambliss R – Georgia
member Armed Service Committed
“These are not Sunday school teachers”
those of where and when they will attack America
fear double fear ya
how will we ever discern the truth
when perpetual war is your very own personal job security
“I wish the debate would focus on American security”
Oka-dokally
Recite for us your record of success.
Admit how most Americans do not feel safer,
especially with the quagmire in Iraq.
Admit we are becoming that which Bushites call evil.
Our Lady Liberty is on her knees
more than half of we the people
demand our leaders follow Geneva Convention’s International Laws
never again means never again
he took us where he knew we never wanted to go
the 911 trick with mushroom clouds
gave us George Tenet’s split tongue
told the left his “hair was on fire” with urgency re Al Qaeda
and on the right “it’s a slam dunk” re intelligence
rights who hate life screamed
“bomb ’em to kingdom come!”
o little bud how come you never opened?
our Cowboy learns a tad little
of going forth without pride but
ok yeah right won somewhat
we all do not need to be told we are there
what is is
show your back packers you do believe
whomsoever the designer
life is intelligent we are it is true
homo sapiens and only a tad
of understanding a foreign language
or as our parents once were wont to say
“look it up in the dictionary”
the downfall of automatic spell checkers is
there is no contact with the definition
Francis de Budah asks
“For whom do you write?”
myself, my family, my extended family, my neighbors
and life
which is love
which would never never be heard saying
“bomb ’em to kingdom come”
most on the right would not either
it is their fringes that are dangerous
as is equally the fringes on the left
follow the money
fringes that live like billionaires are
what got us from there to here
now is a good time to fly a true democracy
we the people do have power over our elected officials
greed’s temptation trickles all the way down from the top
elected officials DO pay attention to polls
denying attention when they do not like the numbers
and citing them when they do
we are more united than they allow us to believe
we homos who became sapiens need not leave behind the flower’s bloom
it is the war tenor in the voice that sounds more like fear unchecked
the ring of panic would displace the tinkling sacramental bell
when called to speak we can speak with civility
there is no other way to have an honest debate
evolution, if intelligent, would choose intelligent leaders
the devil himself/herself is/can be most charismatic
How did it happen Robert
so turned around in academia
“Good neighbors make good fences”
is all they heard and how they taught
so misconstrued the Mending Wall
would rob you of your laureate
but that sounds too academia racist
not all of any group is one thing or another
extremes are always in the peripheral
the lowest common denominator and the pompous
where poetry rules and regulations became stone
then along comes Thomas and Sylvia et al
picked/gnawed/suicidal/bleedings
high brow or low brow, pudding is the proof
upon the points of fences lie two edges
those who want fences declare they are all good
and those who wonder whom they might offend
or in our laurel poets words:
“Something there is that doesn’t love a wall.”
Where are the schools
and who teachers
of torture technicians
or do we make it up
as we go along
adjusting till we hear
a tortured animal scream
from a human being
No torture
means no exception.
Why is there ANY debate
in the US senate
Mr. Chenney
taking unto himself absolute power
will the house of the people
allow this Dick to be
corrupt absolutely?
The Last Hours of Tookie
fully awake and knowing
moved to that place of waiting
what happens to a soul
separated from the body
by execution
do the believers in the death penalty
(99.9% purely Christians)
truly understand their desire
is an eye for an eye
and by demanding it from Tookie
they are turning their backs on Jesus
and his teachings?
When will they ever learn?
When will they
ever
learn.
if 7% of the “terrorists” in Iraq are outsiders
then 93% are insurrectionists
home boys in other words
this is a war between fundamentalist Muslims and non
it is time to stop arguing about the legality of this Iraq War
President Bush has placed America in the center
yet we are in the unique position
of proving the superiority of doing unto your neighbor
as you would have done unto yourself
will democracy at home survive, you know,
the democracy that respects the rule of law,
without which there is no peace?
If we protect All Iraqis as being equal
and protect for them, the people,
their natural resources, namely oil
from private greed,
and we remove outside contractors,
thus becoming arbitrators
for a true democracy,
a constitution more enlightened,
than our original one,
of which even they allowed,
this document of the people
needed to be a living document
which could be improved upon.
Is it not hypocritical to believe in Intelligent Design
while degrading intelligence?
