Two years on the judge job
and he gets promoted to
Chief Supreme Justice
with thirteen agonizing month
plus a few days
before we the people can vote
will the 100 million eligible non-voters
awaken now
now while Katrina is still too much with us
tom dingery continues
drop yer boots on the ground cowboy
hug another willing victim
baby boy King George
got a new toy swimming pool
filled with oil
nakedly he splashes about
“See what I did daddy?
I took out Saddam for you
gave evangelicals a Bork clone!”
“Oh give me oil lots of oil
yellow ribbons in my hair.”
And the yellow rose of Texas
dies upon the thorns.

Condi Rice and Katrina
“I don’t believe for a minute
the rescue efforts are racist.”
Meaning: if I let myself
believe what I see with my eyes
I would hafta quit my job.
The rescue effort might not be racist
the evacuation before the storm
if not purely racist
was surely classist.
Not accepting aid to victims of Katrina?
“As of Friday, the White House had not accepted any offers…”
Where did a US president get the power to refuse offers of aid to victims of a national disaster and the power to keep the offers out of the news for 6 days?
Day Seven and a Sunday. How many of the rural poor still have no food, no clean water?
The State Department said offers of help had been received from more than 50 countries, including:
Australia, Austria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Belgium, Canada, China, Columbia, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Greece, Guyana, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Philippines, Portugal, South Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela.
It’s time for another WPA Mr. President – hire those among the poorest who were affected that are willing and able rather than your giant contractor firends who are already gouging dollars out of the rebuilding efforts in Iraq.
Every day is Monday till the suffering is done.
No hump day.
No Saturday night live.
No Sunday morning brunch.
No forgetting.
The whole world is watching
along with a few celestial beings.
Little Sunlight after Katrina
“Nearly 100 airmen who were scheduled to
deploy from Keesler AFB will not deploy now”
300 Mississippi home boys have permission to
return home early from the wars
Iraq and Afghanistan and maybe more
who’s families Katrina desolated
hunger in Mudville 6 days and counting
who’s eating lobster with their steak tonight?
A new line forms in the sand
those who make deals with the devil
may not cross.
will all parties be canceled
until the work is done?
in it for the duration
this time
this time?
evacuate before the storm or after
evacuation was a given
if it quacks like a duck it is probably lame
there is still time for redemption quack quack
and the whole world is watching
watching for real this time this time
now is the time to give aid
Will this Sunday’s Congressional Party
be canceled?
The Goddess of Peace
It is grace that brought us thus far
without class or race discrimination
it is the generosity called tonight on MSNBC
the Red Cross the recipients
the bunglers of 9/11 accountability
we know the givingness of the volunteers
it is the leader now again
need to hear the Soul of New Orleans
and all of Katrina victims.
It is grace that will bring us home.
Ruse the Muse
“Is that you Chatty Cathy?”
aproned Mrs. Cleaver calls.
“No! It’s Ruse the Muse.”
echoes thru echo chamber
mirror shiny upon the wall
come calling never did i when
the bridal dream of flying phalli
buzzing everywhere pay loaded
the groomal dream of hoary teeth devouring
it was corrupt priestly class that got us here
it is eyes those who have to see will take us home
where the heart is, where the neighbor
meets neighbor and wants to live in peace
all ideologues are on the table
anger is no proof of right
if we really want the fence to come down
the country be not divided and fall
some pet logs end up on the fire
rules to live by without a fence
of necessity will thusly be…
“Oh stop with the imagining!”
i would say i’m solly but but
but thaat’s the road out of any
quagmire.
Rubbing Dubya: Sheen, Sharpton and Sheehan
“Bush has said he appreciates Sheehan’s right to protest
and sympathizes with her, but his aides have said there
are no plans to change his schedule to meet with her.” – CNN
aside: “I get the good lines, you peons get the bad.”
It was Sunday down Prairie Chapel Road
Martin Sheen, the president we all could embrace
meet with Cindy Sheehan as did Rev. Al Sharpton
honoring the fallen dead what can poor Dubya do
he has not the nobility to clarify his “noble cause”.
As August slips away into September
The Burning Bush body count grows
(he only counts American dead)
Reporters: 37
Contractors: 94
Afghanistan troops: 288
Iraq troops: 1,873
Total Bush body count: 2,302
Total body parts: un reported
Coalition troop deaths: un counted
as Oil for Food turns into Oil for Blood.
Does CNN have any news editors?
“saying the United States should “take him out”
no Associated Press, the fire word was “assassination”
where are the CNN editors? or are you just fer show?
“Chavez accuses his political foes, including business
and labor groups, of trying to force him from office
by any means possible.”
thank the Associated Press for that gem
THE reason Hugo Chavez has 65% population support
is BECAUSE he is for the working poor and the unemployed
at least give us a choir
let the wealthy Cuban voices in Florida
sing along with the wealthy voices of Venezuelans
(especially those who already left expecting US violence)
“Castro and Hugo bad bad bad!”
“Meaner than a junk yard dog!”
junk yard dogs get that way
from grown up bullies taking pot shots at them.
15% of American oil from Venezuela?
Prairie Chapel Road
Prays for US lack of nobility.
