Rather than deny
our beastly origins,

let us embrace
the little monsters.

We cannot teach those
we do not embrace.

We tend to kill them.

the killing brine

March 2, 2009

The rising sun falls from the sky in flames
as bodies float atop the killing brine.

We scan for light that moves into frame,
no grave as lonely as this chilling brine.

They fly unseen, their minds abandoned,
fast and low along the churning brine.

They rise to dive, and attack at random.
We jump into the burning brine.

How many prayers were said this day?
How many fell silent to the brine?

Why must we die such a pointless way –
in this black and boney killing brine?

cognition’s a bitch

February 24, 2009

My thoughts are like dogs
roaming free in the world,
sniffing this way and that
all day and all night.

Reptiles,
we eat
the embryos of others.

But fuck not!
with ours.

I am pleased to announce Mr. Hussein has agreed to comprehensive oversight by the United Nations and disarmament (if needed). This will allow us to to focus on addressing terror worldwide.   It can also move us closer to enduring positive peace.
