political debates

what’ll i do without my politic
for what is partisan but an inclination for
and an impediment to clearly seeing
both sides of any disagreement
when partisan turns to stone
ugly wars happen like
spinning only digs the well deeper

it need not be so hard to accept
one’s own mistaken belief
spinning – like flip-flops like
one is not trustworthy if they change their mind
in the face of a better idea?
it is the face of unfounded fear
that would turn the US Constitution into stone
like a religion that turns their founders into stone

but we can dream
of political debates that addresses our greatest concerns
like requiring candidates to accept only public financing
instead of lip service to this ideal
which would free all candidates from prostituting themselves
i.e. willing to do whatever it takes to be number one
including ceding presidential and congressional powers
to the largest dollar donors

Hillary Clinton Buys A Sound Byte

“The differences between us are minor.
The differences between us and the Republicans are major.”

how much did it cost Hillary,
to buy the byte
only a top dog might use?
did the writer of this byte puff with pride
with this morning’s repetition of it?

what 2 pluses does Hillary have?
1) our first woman president
2) a Democrat
oh yeah, there is a third
3) the shakers of the money tree

what will the top dogs,
Democrat and Republican never pass into law?
public campaign financing(.)

Bush Evangelican NeoCon Cons

If we leave Iraq “they” will follow us here
They are here and threatened to blow up the JFK airport
Is that like blowing up John Fitzgerald Kennedy
No, we’ve already done that
Sha La La La La La live for today
you can’t sell boogie to a rock that’s rolled
ka ka sh ka

Ode to a Gentleman Caller

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

Christians That Do NOT Believe In Hell

you can tell
by the way they act on Earth
creating punishment for criminals (sinners)
that goes far far beyond security from the criminals’
threat to society
and NO
they do not believe even
in an after life of heaven or hell
they want their riches NOW
acting like Jesus’ kingdom was of the Earth
telling their children
“Do as I say not as I do”
for a reason…
believing their “secret sins”
are safely hidden in some closet
not in some “madam’s phone book”
as if they are not in the minds
of every human they have hurt
and when their belly aches for war
to get the “infidels” to march lock step with their religion
and call it “spreading democracy”
the “fuzzy feel good about ourselves”
that has been used by every president since Nixon
fulfilling Truman’s dreams of expansion into empire
Look! Dick and Jane.
All the wanna be emperors’ children
are losing their clothing too!

NAFTA equals Immigration Problem

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(.)

Prosumer

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

Still In Their Burkas

!

still the guilt ridden ones fearing exposure
buy lies
remember Christiane Amanpour enacting the visual
and the feeling of walking around with only eyes showing
and only in public when accompanied by a man
is it Pepsi or Coke or McDonalds
feeding the masses the forget-it-pill?
yes
the list of promises broken are deadly
did righty forget how to read substance?
how many are happy Bush got his war dollars?
did we go to war for oil?
take out your video of Iraq War 1991
where some brave reporter
asked a soldier with boots on the ground
“Is it worth risking your life
to have cheaper gas at the pump?”
and YES, the soldier replied “yes”
But don’t say that aloud it hurts my right eye.
Why is it so hard to admit we have been scammed?
The status quo for the haves
has been captured by fear
(how long will it take before they see:
it looks a lot like perpetual fear?)
ok
my confession
i was hit by a commedian before coming here

You Didn’t Have To Give Him the Money, Congress

the educated lower class will shut up with a minimum wage hike
along with whatsoever pork attached to negotiating away
those darer to hope’rs holding their breath
that sanity would reign, alas
#2 military man in Iraq who took a moral stand
fired by CBS
so powerful are they who have taken America into a quagmire
scary as hell, heah yeah
the rain falls gently from this evening’s clouds
quenching the flowers that bloom in May
and lamenting the flowers that die in Iraq
of course greed is an addiction and knows no limits
gimme anuder sagga ta bagga
i’m movin’ on…

Reagan’s Diary

of course the pages dealing with the Middle East
were redacted from the public
means Reagan’s Middle East secrets are still for security
which allows that there has been Middle East secrets since then
oh yeah
Iran/Contra
when US taxpayers dollars go into the Reagan Library
we will never get our monies worth until
the secret Ronald Reagan
is fully revealed thru his personal non-redacted diary

while up let’s go for Bush II’s library
if it does not contain the fact that he is a stripper
it will be not worthy
he stripped the light from the torch of Lady Liberty
he stripped the blindfold out of “Justice is blind”
he stripped one million+ voters of their voting rights
oh yeah
that’s what got us to here…

our burning Bush goes on killing killing
until he replaces Saddam with a willing Puppet
the will of the people scream louder
but not to hope
we have already been warned
“I’ll go on killing if only Laura and my dog believe in my cause.”
anybody counting
how many of his VERY OWN selected staff he has axed?
no need to count the axed staff as whistleblowers
when a whore accepts money for his actions
the only haggle left is the price
of selling one’s soul
to a burning up Bush.

did young man George go “Oh shit!”
when he reached mock speed
or did he shit and go “Never again!”
and that’s why the National Guard could not find him?

angry? afraid? happy? fulfilled? or acting?
