the mind cries
second checkpoint the cries are delayed
third time never
mind now steeled against humiliation of occupation

you could be another victim US of A
of course occupiers need face of victim
but victim as a life style is deadly

who walled in Jerusalem 28 feet high
except from the East?
will the Whitehouse be walled in too?
we have a right to know what’s going on
who is expecting what from the East?
what happens when the sun no longer dries up the rain?
Lou Dobbs CNN calls Karl Rove vs Joe Wilson a “silly leak”
the silly leak it was not
it was about yellow cakes and lies
and discrediting Joe Wilson
yellow cakes being part of the Iraq war evidence
there’s nothing silly about that
how many lies to eat does it take
before one vomits?
what does a spinner do with a lie exposed?
cover it with another lie here it comes
“Mr. Novak told Karl Rove
Wilson’s wife was a CIA agent.”

Karl Rove and the God Cop
it is not human to discern the workings of gods
perhaps but who can help but wonder if
it is a Go Game They are playing
testing the nettle of Bush Can Do No Wrong’ers like
how many lies can they swallow before they vomit?

Tom Friedman calls “terrorists” a death cult
so what is a death cult Tom
if not that which brings about the mostest deaths
and nothing brings about more deaths
than bombs from the sky
if “terrorists” are a death cult
George W. Bush out cults them.
Blame America First
is that to be pre-emptive
it truly is suggestive and defensive
America is a country
Americans are its people
it is semantics Bill O’Reillys’s
as is it always usury that breaks our hearts
lover or governor it is the secret truths
and the public lies that kill us slowly
sometimes fastly
preemptive newspeak strikes
split tongues needed to speak
out of two sides of the mouth
plausible deniability
Blame America First?
and who second California?

“hand me down my talking points
i’ll belt out of my echo chamber”
cough up those shirts and flag the train
down came the rain and down it came again
grace is amazing but never a given
hate becomes itself
ask Rush Limbaugh who hates addicts
ask phone sex users who pontificate chastity
asked the crucified by angry priests
who preferred money changers in the temple
hang down your head boss mon
hang down your head and cry
even salty tears eventually
turn to warm caressing
love only is immortal
those who love America the most
are critical when she is wrong
no lie to go un turned
speak up Karl Rove
we can’t hear you.

with beauty always
the test is pride then compassion
with the rejectabels it’s a given
time is but a window to the heart
what tocks out what ticks in
children free
to make pretend masks
have lesser need to grown them
growing old
oh jack and jill so quarrelsome
could i take you by your scruffs
shake you to your selves 20 years hence
where one by one is letting go
of beauty and opinions held as truths
then plop you facing each
down on your seats
the love you shared is still available
come humbly to the feast

thankfully he chortles
“I’m not a lawyer”
his voice turned to spoiled whine
“I don’t like it when my friends get criticized
I don’t like it at all”

how does one dig dignity our of corrupt politicians?
Mr. Smith goes to Washington that’s how!
George W. Bush AWOL from poetry
He gave to us no inaugural poem George W
nor a poet to bedeck the whitehouse steps
no Frost or Angelou or Eliseuson
He gave to us pretended patriots
dupe most of the people all of the time
founding fathers were mortal men and proved it
when they amended their own constitution
amendments allowing their enlightenment
was of their times and allowed
progressive enlightenment possible
foundations of Freedom
what presidential papers were sealed by George W. Bush?
Clinton gives himself a free pass declaring he had no papers
needing sealing.
Under the new order, papers from a former administration
can remain sealed even if the former president does not
think they are privileged, if the sitting president thinks
they are privileged. Alberto Gonzales said,
“It will not be driven by politics or what looks good.
It will be driven by what is allowed under the Constitution.”
“Which sounds fine in theory, but
once the order is in effect,
how would anyone know
what was driving a particular decision?
He asks us to trust him
to be responsible, honest and impartial.
“As long as Gods are males
males will be Gods.”

Of Course We Need Another Sandra Day O’Connor
these are those exceptional times
the swing vote of the court
proved the balance of the Supremes
was not democratic or republican
especially by two important decisions
when the Supremes decided in favor
of most republicans
in the 2000 election
and when the Supremes decided in favor
of most democrats
in the Terri Schiavo case
60% is mandatory
if we would remain a country of law
we the people do not want governed
by nuclear options
Mr. Smith please stand up
as long as it takes.
