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)
screwing common people

common people
want peace
and harmony
those who divide us
are manipulators
and misfits
power brokers
and fist lovers
how do we cope?
drugs and tv
earning and spending
through escape
we join them
strange spiritual bedfellows

Begin
by descending
into
a deep
shaft
of required thinking.
With each
downward
step
move further
from the truth.
Continue
down
down
to where
a flashlight
is called the sunlight.
There
you will stay
to follow
a manufactured god.

All that is required –
blind obedience
to keepers of the “truth”.
( Not to truth –
but to its “keepers”. )
how else do you explain this war?

politicos:
mostly rich
mostly white
mostly hype
black holes

of our country
so long suit

Goodbye pompous officious arrogant dismissive in-thinking betrayer – responsible for the biggest debacle in the history of U.S. military strategy. Good riddance to a corporate ghoul who showed more regard for Halliburton than his troops.
Should have stopped with Afghanistan and done the job right.

this is what I’m talking about:
October 14, 2006
If you believe this is sure to happen:
Is peace – right now – your enemy?
let me put it another way
October 14, 2006
If you believe there can be no peace until the second coming, and that future war is predestined, and necessary, and there is nothing you can do about it – how can you truly work for peace? How can you put your heart and soul into building a world which is safe for any child – if you believe you are powerless? If you believe that reality is a function of magical forces. Forced conversion. Inexorable cataclysm.
As for me, I don’t need “experts” to interpret God’s plea made to all of us time and time again: LOVE THY NEIGHBOR…
