Whitman, so abused
by an authoritarian father
demoniacally driven to succeed
failure freed the demon
his father had installed into his son’s soul
son releases anger towards his father
sniper slaughtering strangers
slaughtering until he was slaughtered
resolving nothing
save a lasting picture
authoritarian power carries the burden
of seduction
of ultimate power
over a child
over a mate
over a city
nation
ultimate the world
(unless you believe
Star Wars)

hello goodbye
i say goodbye you say have fun
pump up the volume A em Pee
we’re goin’ for a ride

finder seys

WHAT KNOW FREEBIRD
LIVE SO FREE?
FREEBIRD KNOW WORM
UN der ev Er y TREE!

Poembrosia I declare
i ain’t got no underwear!
how else to moon
at seventy three?

Could it be harder than being named
Paris Hilton or Susan Butts?
Yes. How ’bouts
Helen of Hilton and Castor Viagra.

what does not sustain destroys

flowers do not last forever

thus the painting or portraying

is not the glory of the flower

but the reminder thereof

thus we dance while we may

and when we may not is now

is when we snatch the starving child

from the vulture

awaiting

the death of one more flower.

Richardson and Obama

dare they would they

present another JFK situation

o sing Sweet Honey

of the brave in this land of the free

here in manana New Mexico

our Presidential Governor

does not owe his soul

to THE military/political/industrial

complexities
.

*Sweet Honey in the Rocks

two peas in a pod under the Queen’s bed
loosing too many bishops and rooks
“If “they” (they now being Iran)
don’t follow the rules we have to stop them.”
– Senator Liberman
Who’s “rules” Mr. Independent Senator Liber’man?

Immigration
when the most powerful Dems and Reps
do not want immigration reform?

Iraq
where the most powerful Dems and Reps
do not want to Entirely withdraw from Iraq
leave it looking like Korea or Vietnam?

and
some hero writes about “Palace Intrigue”:
a “show a real thing –
turn on the blue light
he wants a blue suit”
or beloved Craig
“Any excuse will do when all you want is an excuse.”
was Dean Martin a “Beetle Buster”?
not in Sutbenville, Ohio, anyway

Cindy Sheehan learns of real estate and auctions
Move America Forward
would move America Backwards
has money to purn Camp Casey
into a phalanx image honoring
“fighting terrorism”
instead of Cindy’s mirror
of who the real terrorist is
bomb basting shock and awe on the First Day of Spring
Holy Crumpets! Today’s hero can be heard
on KTLK AM1150 Los Angeles Saturdays 2-4pm PT
i’ll put my nickel in that nickelodeon
asap

thanks and praises to the journal caller

for his ‘what war cheerleaders might do’

divided into three parts:

one group digs the graves of dead soldiers

another group empties bedpans at Walter Reed

third group goet to Gitmo and raises ducks

and sends them to Iraq

oops i gorfot the gentleman caller’s punch line

oh yeah, i don’t remember but it could as well have been

so they could have a duck shoot

the problem is Not
those of us and them that hire them
the “immigration problem” ballooned in the 1990’s
AFTER the signing of NAFTA IN 1992(.)
of course it is an emotional issue Doris Meissner,
INS Commissioner 1993-2000,
American families are losing their jobs
Mexican families can not support their families
and risk their lives to cross our borders
now mostly our deadly desert borders
of workers, American or Mexican,
they all lose
and the winners are?
Republican and Democrat Politicians
who sell themselves to the Money God
otherwise known as Satan
Redemption is near!
Cindy Sheehan resigns.
The Democrats have failed her.
The Congress and the President has failed US.
the “immigration problem”
is not about
who rents to aliens
who hires aliens
who pays for their health care
or if they have a driver’s licenses
the problem is
NAFTA(.)

produce as much as you consume
falling in love with the Earth you are happy to do so
FTA
“What makes the green grass grow,
blood blood blood”
yeah fed anti-semitic, semitic being
both Arab and Jew
who have been more persecuted and abused?
who…what culture and/or religion
has NOT been persecuted and abused?
the Green and Red of Yuletide
was not blood for grass
Green and Red is new Earthly Birth
the colors of compassion
death only, is black Darth Vader,
the reality of Star Wars
is Consuming more than we are Producing
for every body born perfect this will do
is better than a starving world
in the face of Holy Cows
in the face of the fragile
imperfect humans

if Anna Mae Aquash can be the rain

i can be the breeze

that carries bird songs

to your ear

no more mountains to ascend

no more hills to take a stand

only gentle falling rain’s memory

of soft paws and warm heart
