did we do it in a booth
did we do it in a shoe
o father
o mother
o child

can we lie our way to heaven
will we curse our way to hell
deceiver
master
manipulator

did we all become hohokas
talking backwards from our walk
oh spinners
oh talking points
echoing

who will vote the status quo
who will remember
the flip that floped
stay the course
the uniter

Never about staying the course?
“Hell no! It was about
Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon,
Haiti, Sudan
and beyond!”

hear it echo from the mountain
top again
the ancient
primal
scream for power?

did we do it in a booth
did we do it in a shoe
o father
o mother
o child

Chenny goin’ hunting, 1st time
since his hunting accident.

Who will forget Bush got
Saddam but not Osama?

Who’s talking politics
like Their hair was on fire?

Make three wishes bend over
touch the ground
(as we did before we evolved
into homo sapiens; a touching
of roots so to say)
stand tall and spread your arms
hands open to the heavens
reclaim the link between the worlds
of Earth and Sky

then Vote

“All politics are local”
from
“All politics are personal”

Seducing voters to vote
their pocketbook or their soul

Pocketbook being the pork,
elected leaders bring, to their “local”

All is fair in love and politics?

Lady Liberty is GASPING!
who amongst us
will do the necessary CPR?

2 days and counting…

Ted is Haggard: The president of the N.A.E.
(National Association of Evangelicals)
resigned after denying accusation
of male prostitute that the pastor paid for sex
for over three years.

Elsewhere in the news:
The letters — about 300 in all,
sent to a New Jersey minister —
ended up dumped in the ocean,
most of them unopened.

Sample letter:
“I’m still praying to hit the lottery twice:
first the $50,000,” one man wrote.
“Than after some changes have taken place
let me hit the millionaire.”

they are still beating their women,
Hagar and Sarah,
fucking women AND men
not their wives or maybe their wives too
that’s how angry testosterone gets
in the process
of replacing Goddess with God
polytheism with monotheism
Look Dick!
See how they turned
fuck into a dirty word.
Poor Jane!
Poor Dick and Jane,
in their hearts understand heavy.
Will someone send them a car?
They only have 4 days
to reach the election booth.

there i was un expecting
standing alone
with holy stains and politics
on the line with 5 days to go
balance pole
pulling left, then right,
i held my breath and waited for the out
blow
blow
out dirt
out corruption
out with deadly treating our neighbors
got God?
THEN BE KIND TO YOUR NEIGHBORS
as It is Written in Your holy Book
got Allah?
THEN BE KIND TO YOUR NEIGHBORS
as It is Written in Your holy Book
Got Jehovah?
THEN BE KIND TO YOUR NEIGHBORS
as It is Written in Your holy Book

it is the way of peace
and peace is in us all
comes from facing fears
and recognizing our own demon(s)
that drives our anger
thus balancing our way
to the common dream of all humans:
PERSONAL PEACE AND WORLD PEACE

Butch Hancock:
“Count ’em all by hand,
it’s who’s gonna win;
the masters or the slaves”

How much ink does a Blackwell ink well hold?

Computer Diebold promised Ohio in 2004 and delivered
in a world where one computer can talk to another computer
in the middle of vote counting

And the Reps are squealing,
“When Dems win this time,
what will they have to say about voting fraud then?”

Mother Bull is roaring,
“When 70 to 80% of we the people
vote straight democrat,
even Diebold can’t fraud that!”

This lone bird votes early
advises others to do the same
and use you’re cell phone
to the greatest of its advantage.

“I believe I’m innocent”
as opposed to
“I know I’m innocent”
is how Jack jumps over the candlestick

Who the Handlers
turning Bush into a buffoon so
Nostradamus prediction
“They will elect a fool to lead them”
comes true so the end is near
Be Afraid Be Very Afraid
Hide if you will, but Peek:
Will the deciding issue be
foreign policy, stocks rising, or the desire
to to be
in someone else’s bedroom,
two weeks from today?

19 Days and Counting…

Clinton and Foley immoral
according to “Christian” standards
throwing a wrench in the engine
that demonizes gays
who are
the Republican Log Cabin Gays?
who cares
Chenney et all sinister grins
(check out Rove’s high school pic)
if the devil don’t get you first
the lies will
Where of where are our Johns?
Dead And Buried in Their Graves
but their spirit lingers on…
“It is not who killed me,
it’s WHY?”
wHat was JFK known to be going to do?
“Change US Foreign Policy”
The question is also:
“Who gained and Who lost?”
Only one issue is paramount
in this count down election,
“Who will debate foreign policy?”
Turn off the TV and talk to your neighbor
visit, telephone, fax, email, blog,
and remember the fish in the cubicle
and the freedom that comes from the song:
“Imagine we ain’t gonna take it any more.”
