Buddy Knows First
April 3, 2026
He leaps
from the couch
to growl at the sky.
Then, looks back to me
to say goodbye.
Soon banshee winds
scream from hell
all we can do
is bark and yell.
The Earth now an ember
our spirits release…
another failed planet,
another failed “peace”.
(In a flash)
(of rage)
Is Your Candidate an Armageddonist?
January 1, 2012
Belief in the The Apocalypse of John
asserts peace is unattainable
until the “second coming” of Christ.
That until there is a worldwide conflagration;
until a Christ lead theocracy emerges –
peace is impossible.
How can an Armageddonist work for peace
without furthering
theocracy,
the self fulfilling
prophesy?
Discovering Tyrants
July 5, 2008
In the days of antennae
atop wooden consoles –
we pulled in whatever
was out there.
Much of it,
old war footage:
tanks in mud
men on stretchers
cannon flashing
Zeros falling
and Der Fuhrer
pounding his fist
in truculent German
to adoring masses.
I would wonder:
what is he saying?
why is he so pissed?
why would people like him?
(Just as a non anglophone might think
when first seeing and hearing a Limbaugh)
“class warfare” accuses Rush disapprovingly
July 4, 2008
Our country was born of
contempt for privilege.
Yet today we are besmirched
for having those same
patriotic opinions.
