the day draws near
Americans will make the connection
between Oil Wars and Drug Wars
as heroin users supply the dollars
for terrorist attacks which fight against
stealing Arab oil
when America stops the drug war
and treat addiction for what it is
a disease.

dreaming of my dearly departed
i see them wearing a favorite face
they’ve planted in my heart
last night it was a bygone love
who hid the tent in his hospital bed
when our fingers touched
of course when they have no corporeal bodies
there’s no need for sexual determination
of course there are boy and girl flowers
not so with angels
but they can take any form
their former loves dream them in
i do what i can as the days draw nearer
to being with my beloveds, anew.

every evolution changeover brings pain and sorrow
growing pangs so to say
time speeds up when a species feels threatened
by extinction, for the human species
they called it “future shock”
now is the future
and the past
turning to salt is only how dry one feels
looking back looking back at
past faulty rationalizations
seeing fully why we do not wish them
in our future
water is the staff of life and all of it is holy
these children of the millennium changeover
give elders comfort as they are able
and their children the freedom
to be children
curious
playful
with loving safety nets
the days of
“Do as you’re told not as I do”
are dead and gone
when coming into this garden
of the children of the millennium changeover
come as a feather or a bird might

Hello July!
oops there goes another 12 billion dollars down the drain
how many months plus years will it take before
our jolly politicians spend our grandchildren into slavery
Osama might say “It is the white race’s turn”
No, that would be Malcolm X?
Oh yeah…Malcolm was a martyr
O Marty er, how many martyrs does it take
to make the America our founders dreamed of?
John F. Kennedy would have changed foreign policy
while down in Jena Louisiana they are hanging nooses
on a tree on their high school campus
while conservative moral police politicians
are outed by D.C.’s Madame
are there enough roses
to still the guns of August?

Richie ain’t worried
about the price of gas for their limousines,
SUV’s, or otherwise gas guzzlers.
They might worry about their slaves
not being able to afford to get to work.
Politicians have a propensity
of proffering the false pretentiousness
that they know everything
…oh how solidly they believe
they were made in God’s image
ergo their actions are Godlike authority
to control all natural resources
Richie Richie go away
do not return another day
this Earth, per se,
et al that lives upon it, is suffocating.
…don’ worry, be happy,
like Pinocchio’s nose
driping with lies
the ultimate end of graspy greed is
(and all of human history proves it)
is to fall – to drown
in Oily Dreams.

lived nearly always
in a nation and house divided upon itself
remembering as recent as yesterday
the Great Bloody American Revolution
which was the gift of laws describing
exactly a Bloodless Revolution
all it ever took takes will take
are equals in ever way
to human rights deemed undeniable
after two hundred and thirty-two years of practice
we are STILL divided
no longer between exactly north and south
1) the leisure rich and the working poor
yes we remember corrupt union leaders
as well we see corrupt corporation leaders
as we hear those contenders to “the throne”
collecting contributions by the millions
insane is Patriotic American Apple Pie
crazy is how it feels
to live in a world where Money is God!
2) the televangelists grow round and rich
after two thousand and seven years
the money changers are still in the temple
that has been infected with perpetual war
between the sexes and between nations
(expletive)

Ally McBeal Dick Chenny
Hollywood like ABC
Brothers and Sisters
covered in ashes make it real
a real real reality show
suggesting every red blooded American male
thus must sign up for the military
to go to Iraq
aka aka yak
the belazububs
owning media
still believe they can turn
we the people
back into follow the leader
ignore that man behind the curtain
spouting thunder bolts of fear
call it Deceitful Sunday
and check the polls on Monday.

gaging our children and in the same breath
freeing Corporations to buy elections
eagles not so majestic, like pigeons
are scavengers too here
on Planet Fiddlesticks
from the Isle of Pathos
Web Bot Reading Every Word
a. E. Houseman
proclaims postdiction
“And echoes list to silence now
where gods told lies of old.”
64 yrs since Alfred’s pen dried
bit by bit the lies of the new monotheist god
wid a capital G now exposed
truly Alfie
it was not the gods or God that lied
too many prophets for profits
excuse me it is Kennedy the subject now
with much regret not JFK
Anthony means “worthy of praise”
Wa zit gonna take
to expose the lies
of today’s
Money Gods?

you’re So outmoded Summer
so well not enough enough
those telly lies
between reality shows
still belly me yellow
pause
uptake
not my period eny mo’
best buy of the season
What Do US Lobbyists Do
for dictators of any nation
after they’ve bought
Congress and President
who will never curb election spending
wow and how
the cost of any election has inflated
simple math tells us’ens
the going cost of the highest paid prostitute of the soul
does not soar as high or fast as the Lobbyists’ clients profits
oops and yeah…don’t forget the new Supreme Court judges
it is now illegal
for a kid to make the sign: Bong Hits 4 Jesus
but it is not illegal
to buy elections
lady justice’s chin drops to her chest

wants less abortions
cause we need more workers
which causes our immigration problem
but
those more workers
are our children
like us
they want a living wage
now don’t you know
Corporations shiver at the thought
of raising workers wages
and ol’ Jeffe
he will build small little circles
on the West Bank
one circle at a time
believing he’s got a better idea
to bring about the return of Jesus
but
it is the essence of Jesus
that needs to return
as it does with every birth
even as this essence can be found
everywhere you look
if only
you and yours look up
from the lint
of your navel
listen to the lonely yip of the pup
calling for his family
Jews have always loved Arabs
like old friends, they forgave one another
the Holocaust
was the ultimate in shame and degradation
the Arabs didn’t do it
it is the Smug grab for power
(whether mundane or profane)
that in the Grabbing process
may cause the destruction of this Earth
NOT
Divine Intelligence
(you call God).

he got an expert
to teach his audience and himself
to read body language
in this age of doublespeak spin
and lying liars
nobody meaning what they say
or saying what they mean
and when we learn and when we learn
human thoughts are only electric currents
picked up thru evolved hearing
we never know exactly who
is reading our thoughts
(Mr. Bill doesn’t get that yet)
at first it is scary
learning thoughts are not as secret as we wish
second is anger “how dare you”
home base is drawing the conclusion
we may never know who might be tuning in
luckily the 4th little piggy
made his house of air
cause bricks do crumble
let me be gone
when my legs have crumbled
or let me learn
to love the lover who loves so well…
the fragile
the compassionate
Harp of Hearts.
