i say goodbye to “politics and holy stains”

from where Jalapeno Peppers began:

May 1st, 2005

“…walking wounded: it’s just another mother
bird floundering and wondering at April’s long snow
but now it is May, just a heartfelt away.”

May 3rd

“evolution is intelligent design
when the head lies to the heart
expect
a gut reaction!”

to where politics and holy stains end
here, today,
Fri day is a good day to die

dear reader, you must be
when/if here now
no, it is i who must
and you i want
to say, “hello”

and

Thank you Ken Peters for the image “holy stain”
as it was your thought for holystain.com
did but let it go – today I find
http://www.myspace.com/holy stains”
very interesting…
(most interesting because i can goggle it and get there
but i can’t hot link it (?)

7:11 a.m. time to say good bye to the old
in order to begin
something new
may haps?

and

Thank you to Michael W. Eliseuson
for allowing me to steal a few lines
from your poembeticas.

America America
` We ain’t gonna take it anymore

God shed his grace on thee
` Hell no! We won’t go!

And crowned thy good
` In the streets of Wisconsin

With brotherhood
` In streets across our US of A

From sea to shining sea
` 400 richest Americans
` have picked our pockets
` “all” is not enough for them.

The people

united

will never be defeated!

Too late to sit at home and hope.

o what to sing?
“The 1st species who self-immolates”
or
“Be careful who you kick on the way up”.

Orcas threaten to send battleships down
the Suez Canal – ordered to do so
by Sub-Humans,
to stir the pot, boil to bubble.

if you thing he’s a saint he probably Is
if he’s wearing raggedy baggedy cloths
and sounds a little bit crazy.
be careful who you kick
on your way up.

“Sing it now, my baby
sing it now.”

if you read news somewhere that
Muslims are marching on Washington
take a deep breath
and another
then find a second news source.

what do you say Hewie and Dewey
where did you leave Louie?

last seen she was calling on
grandpas and grandmas
great, and great great et al
to come to the aid of our children.

Oh National Savior
being damned if you do and damned if you don’t
may the Holy Peace Doves
be your guide and comfort
forgive those who lose hope
as we learn to embrace those
who still hate because they still fear
the boogie man with bogus one liners
that appeal to our baser instincts.
Amen.

full moon full
of Georgia’s kind a’clouds
it’s 6:31 am and still 15-20 degrees
from sliding from my horizon
into yours
how much future
does a little planet need
to complete the cycle birth/death?
how soon ya think Arabs
will throw out the Saudis?
Tut Tut little despot
even if the people’s will
is not answered this round
He knows now
and the whole world is webbed
wired and transmitting
Saudi cruelty

tiny bits of pink sky
behind the Georgia clouds
pretty moon
now playing hid/peek
oops! get ready
it’s on it’s way over
quite a Lulu last night
full of young artists
celebrating
a collage of doers
allowed to view a tad
of conscious raising
efforts
rewarded.

{..}

did you ever get back to
Iran to see your mother?
has my blue tree
gathered dust?
of Paris
does she still applaud
your efforts?
here across the ocean
we are fed:
)Letters from Juliet
fueling the forlorn
still dreaming
“happy together
ever after”
)pimping
botox
wrinkle removers
hair replacers
et al ad nauseam
youthenizers
superficial beautyizers

your stupa appears
time worn of usage
in consciousness rising
where once Summer
and River played catch
with precious gems
across and mid construction
when Jasun & Katie did
a hooligan dance

will Arbie produce the play
where saints go marching in
led by Christina Green
and nary a named saint
among them?

how am i? good
having just mastered the art
of only one beep instead of five
from my microwave
a little one more step
a little better to hear
silence
.

Grazers have to rely on instincts.

Nawal Al-Sadawy

Hello!
Industrial male complex
Hello!
Military female complex
plexity plex

octogenarian Nawal
peace be upon you
shame upon this septuagenarian for
not near matching your zest and vigor?
Yes, then No
say hello to Sakina Fouad
listen to the music
“the night Fatima was arrested”
yet another version of
“don’t cry for me Argentina”
or Les Misrables

here comes Marble Mouse to save the day
on the shoulders of Giant Fish Walking

“all people saying we just wanna be free”

< ..>

What do you get
when you poke a hornet’s nest?

“Give us jobs.
We need food.
No more corruption.”

Lebanon Cedars
Egyptian Auks
Tunic Tunisia
Russia
Bangkok
King’s Speech

there’s no kinda hush
all over the world
tonight
maybe next year
maybe next century

we are what we do.
what will you do Louie?

.

i was so much younger then
i’m older than that now

give me 5 minutes more
all i wanna do is dance

on top of Ol’ Smokey
smoke got in my eyes

ol’ time religion is not good
when looking for a bite-o-life

Bill Baily ain’t comin’ home
still, he is still loved

we do what we are
got life?
