— The Government Pay-Off to The Deadliest Drug Pushers in the USA
This week, Bush gave Big Tobacco $120 Billion that would otherwise have gone to saving the lives of the 400,000 American tobacco smokers killed every year by the Largest Death Industry in the USA, peddling The Most Addictive Drug Known to Man (nicotine). Every month, the tobacco companies kill more than 10 times the number of Americans murdered on September 11, 2001. Aren’t you glad that the Administration gives Drug Pushers your taxpayer money to help addict kids to their filthy product? Big Tobacco certainly likes the arrangement. That’s why they finance the Republican Party. How many more Americans do you suppose are dead today because the Republican Party is financed by this dirty drug money?
— The Government Attack on the Neutrality of PBS and NPR
The Republican National Committee, having acquired the Fox Propaganda Channel, is set now to control National Public Radio and PBS. Remember when we still had a media willing to openly criticize the Government? Back when We the People could still elect our leaders? In “The Rise and Fall of the American Empire,” will the 20th Century be remembered as the last days of the free American Republic?

In Jesus' name September 13, 2005 9:16 am
The Teacher
Betrayed, beaten, berated,
now hanging naked from a cross,
scoffed at and bleeding,
exhausted,
suffocating from your own weight,
throat parched and dry,
dehydrated beyond thirst,
body beyond weary,
yet consciousness perfectly aligned,
overruling mind
with a heart so open
and expansive
as to kiss the infinite
and your crucifiers, too.
Oh beloved one, recite the psalms
and show us your love unto the end.
Emit enough golden energy into space
to ultimately save the human race.

Katrina
If my tears could quench their thirst,
I wouldn’t feel so helpless
in soothing their misery,
flood survivors with no water to drink,
in hot-sweaty, suffocating heat,
gathered in herds, waiting
with no food to eat,
For help from a system
that has already betrayed them.
Floating corpses in backwater bilge,
mute victims testify of budget cuts into the levee
that pay for foreign war.
Had God sent the winds
to remind us of our sins
to atone through pain,
because we have separated too far from him,
and we must return to humility once more?
The dove September 11, 2005 9:53 am
Poetic Voice
Can you hear the Voice in the wilderness,
a chorus of finch’s delicate chirps,
the cry of the loon,
blackbirds’ caws,
mixed with the squawks of a jungle monkey,
A plaintiff dog’s growl,
the shr–k of a banshee,
the baleful swearing of the fuck-you lizard,
the female scream of death,
A loud, whispered whistle
calling all loved ones home,
The cooing of the dove
from ever so very close?
