CNN reports

tax exempt status

Seeking John Evans, poet

John Evans John Evans
where have you gone
since age twenty-nine
when you published your collection
“The Poet’s I”
the ultimate hedonism of self realization
contrasting St. Theresa’s among us
east/west touching in the cross hair
thirty-one years have gone by John Evans
John Evans, age sixty now
are you with us or have you departed
did you write anything after 1974?
Dedicating “The Poet’s I”:
“I dedicate this book
to the lovers of life,
the perusers of dreams,
and to the searchers
for the wisdom
of the soul.”
Still here or over there
I’m feeling that you know
searchers are still among us
brothers still crying
brother can you spare a dime
the religious among us are asking
where does one learn moral values
if not from organized religion?
Do I hear you crying now?
“If they truly loved their God
they would love
all of his creation and protect it
flowers and trees and human beings
all and everything under the sun.”

Where Has All the Money Gone?

Seabourn Cruise Lines’ “Spirit”

150 passengers and a crew of about 160

One slave for every passanger with 10 to spare

passangers: U.S., Canadian, Australian
and local authorities in Africa

now en route to the Seychelles Islands

Spirit attacked by pirates

Camel loose in Tennessee

Is the Hatter mad?

What’s Next?

bird flu in white powder
arriving in white envelopes
making news closing white house
white lies are not white lies they are killers
win by any means means
you can get blood from a turnip
good from evil
peace from war
justice from devious means
Samuel Alito is first but put him second to
Harriet Miers
trick or treat
all saint’s day is over
statesmen all who shed the light
exactly how we got here from there
and bring us home again.

A Slap In the Face

a wake up call we all
heard the evidence of the lies
I. Scooter Libby perjured
Bill Frist said: “[This] is an
affront to the United States of America,
and it is wrong.”
No
Mr. Bill
The United States of America is we the people,
who feel affronted
with your never ending black lies in our white house
our forefathers enjoyed political debate
can you hear them moaning in their graves
at the character assassination of
whistle blower messengers
we all are praying for all our senators tonight
and the 14
who fully understand the destruction of
nuclear options.

People Without Conscious

“Scooter didn’t do anything but gossip”
(comment from caller to C-SPAN)

lying about a crime in a crime investigation
lie enough times and insure perjury charges
Scooter told enough lies to be caught
Scooter told enough lies to be caught
why?
in any criminal investigation the question is motive
so
why
did Scooter lie?
the right hand holds the cross
the left hand holds the flag
right and left supported the war
BECAUSE THEY WERE LIED TO!
people without conscious is a medical diagnosis
otherwise known as psychopaths

Stormin’ Senator Norman Coleman

accuses George Galloway of perjury
and obstruction of congressional proceedings
when the original accusation was
lining his pockets with Iraqi oil monies
is it easier to prove a lie than a crime?
in these times with media screaming Valerie Plame
how many whistleblowers crucified does it take
Tenets with their hair on fire
al Qaeda has already won
our US underbelly exposed
sex scandals in our military schools
torture in our prisons
Katrina
got acute indigestion?
get sauerkraut
stir fry in vegetable oil
ingest copiously.

Who Broke the Cookie Jar?

opposite the same direction
necophants finding another one
attraction always in the beholder
boundaries described unclear
adrenalin can be smelled
when frying in the pan
the file marked do’s and don’ts
how many times around
how many falls and jumps
who can count them after
leaping and laughter?
even the pope is appalled at
the rights he knows are wrongs
count them:
destroying natural habitats
destroying wild foods
losing wild species genetic diversity
losing whole species
losing our topsoil
using up fossil fuels
decreasing freshwater availability
toxic chemicals air water soil
alien species invasion
producing gases damaging the ozone
population growth
consume resources and generate waste*
and we’re 45 minutes late…

*Jared Diamond, from his new novel “Collapse”

Scatology

like godology
is a lousy way to earn one’s keep
love professed from created fear
may show in actions and in words
love lives in the spirit
and you know it when you feel it
and you smell it when it’s not
and when it is not
it is scat.
