Upon Discovering a Tyrant (in revision)
June 5, 2007
atop wooden consoles
we pulled in whatever
was out there
footage of tanks
in hopeless mud
cannons flashing
through the night
our rugged life,
at the television
we would stare
zeros twisting
down in flames
der fuhrer pounding
with indignant might
in truculent german
to adoring masses
who would cheer
as he screamed
we versus them
follow the dream
the deutsches reich
I would wonder
what is he saying?
why is he so angry?
why are people
cheering
goose stepping
haling heiling
singing crying
like fools
smiling?
(just as a non
anglophone might think
when first hearing Limbaugh)
viscious cycle

the more insult I perceive
the more dangerous
I become
the more dangerous I become
the more insult
I perceive
You do no service to the past
May 5, 2007
You do no service to the past
by obsessing on it –
by wailing and crying forever…
To define everything by “then”
robs the past of its redemption.
when you catch yourself ruminating in anger
April 5, 2007
think
peaceful heart
peaceful mind
and smile
a loving mantra
holding on, letting go
April 4, 2007
when my anger changes
everything changes
if you believe in men who call for blood
February 14, 2007
You believe in
no forgiveness
no redemption
no hope
no Allah
no God.
You have been
misled.
