Politics,
tick, tick, tick, talk of Big Government...
shrinks now that they control the White House
they want in your home
Republicans
can if they can't count on Florida courts
go Federal
courting their new philosophy expressed since the Presidential election
where they ruled Supreme
now have a new dream to control your
bedroom scenes
what
constitutes marriage is its secret...
sayings sacred between...
he vows she would now want to be released
but for
Republicans who can't see or read doctor or marital rights
they set their sights on parental sounds
um......biblical chords
Dubbed
"The Palm Sunday Compromise"
they deny him and her
giving standing over spousal rights to delight right to lifers
who want parental or presidential control for life
or any control that extols
their pursuit of your life...
your liberty
and especially your pursuit of happiness
3/21/2005
Your
will is done
in two thousand and one
and now you will
And so it was
on top of Old Smokey
on shoulders and soldiers
no sun
or Sons of Liberty
no trees
the Ridge … line
a dark silhouette
of citizens as subjects
to a razor … wire edge that cuts you into…
"You're either with us or against us."
The
heartland became the "Homeland"
and hearts were held in hands
of
figureheads that man…icured
"Your will into You will."
a still life, with every nail a file
They
built jails, edifices erected around the unelected
as
testi…monies to the growth
of
law and order
in
the land of the free
Epitome
Gas!
Gas! Wilfred Owen shouts from his epitaph
it's an epiphany from WW1 that no one
should use gas
His
bitter, sweet refrains only gain weight
as we follow war's wagon train
to this insane … fear Hussein
red, orange … who blew Chicago into the Homeland news
chemical assault
no exit
But
the nexus
is that we, us … have enough
chemicals to kill ourselves and everyone else
there on our shelves and on selves
for ground control or crowd control
Pepper
spray! Pepper spray! … the Epitome
Night, Club, control
how is it so … the old lie
that makes gas attack by Iraqis an imminent fact
but the blowback
is to track our record on chemical attacks
recall, Bhopal … et all
Agent Or … Russian Fantanyl
acid rainfall
into our eyes, pepper spray to do away with protest
The
epitome
is chemicals in any hands in any land
create a blowback that our air, our breath
is an inspiration and that no nation should pepper spray
or
in any way take our breath away

That's
the Tip
Don't
ask, don't tell
an improvement from the past
homophobic hell
but you still could be exposed ...
Hey,
you're gay ... some officer could say
and you'd be on your way
But
today
as is always the way
the day you need a hand
to stand another day
you
don't see race, creed or biology
you just see ... fingers to grip
That's
the tip ...
the scales that weigh down the world
into sides
find that you don't ask
when you're facing your last gasp
And
tells us all
that discrimination is a nation
that holds
that hands from the maker
are to be withheld
until
The
moment of truth
tells on you
behold
that hand is my fellow man
Bush
in the Rain
Bush
in the rain, right hand raised
saluted Bucharest and NATO's reign
Compares
Stalin, Hitler, and Hussein
standing in … Ro …mania
he looks across an L.A. Times front page
His
lips press a "I love freedom"
while he courts the kiss of death
to what remains of u.s. and our Miranda Rights
He
cites Ceausescu's dictatorial miscues
then sets his sights on the U.S. Bill of Rights
He talks of "Fanatics" then endorses
Tactics of "Coercive Interrogation" for our nation
from Guantanamo to the Oxnard Shores
He
waves our rights, then signs the Homeland Security Act
that attacks job security facts
He vaccinates our nation, so we can't pharmacologically appeal
Lily … White House deals
He
hires onto freedom's rhetoric
while he steals elections and seals Supreme Court deals
He
Ro … man … ticizes to Ro … manians
then Ro … man style, reins in our forum
through pre-emptive strikes and military might
our Democratic rights to hire and fire …
He
then creates a "Homeland" that
hires and fires by Executive Decree
A
Ridgeline from Mumia to Romania
that silhouettes
a son sitting on the rise of corporate sanctioned hegemony
