the music of Elvis keeps them warm.

TEXAS GOVERNOR



A Texas death

room gurney

is the altar

of political

ambition and desire

on which he

proved

himself

to his father as

he sacrificed

150 innocent, juvenile,

unrepresented, black,

international citizen,

reformed or other

Texans. The world

watched in horror

as the altar

became a gurney

on which Texans

were wheeled to

the American Abu

Ghraib rooms of

state sanctioned

murder.

That was the

beginning of the world's

campaign to remove

him from his

stolen throne.

Yet death was

like an overhead

glass ceiling grid..

occasionally

the metal blocked

the sun's rising..

but soon it

appeared in

new glass chambers

filling them

with light amber.

And the altar

the bloodyred stone

promoted by

Sumner Redstone

will melt away like

an iceberg

in the sea's sway.







SPIRIT POUR



The mother's

milk starts

to flow at the

calling of her baby



The spouse's

eyes pour with

love.. at sight

of the beloved

to the throat

as courage

demands speech.



Healing hands

are hot

with heartheat



---------



COLONEL



are wastelage

and dead animals

mixed in with the

corn kernels

fed to the captive

chickens

jammed 9 to a cage

and bought by the

Colonel?

the US are feeding

parts of dead animals

to chickens, generating

Mad Chicken prions)

DIVIDED LOTS



In St Louis and Cleveland

Memphis, Richmond,

belongings and

divide their lots

amongst them.







ABBA SAID

PRAYER



God, forgive me for any time I have hurt the hearts of

others.. in the past present or future.



As hundreds of square miles of ice shelf fall into the sea

so do our sins drop into Your erasing forgiveness.



O GOD You are at the beginning and end of every path

to You. You answer every name by which You are called.

You are Omnipresent and therefore You Indwell Every Being. No error

of ours is more than a cloud which sooner or later passes on,

revealing Your Light shining in us all.

MELTING ICE



Spring does unroll

her ancient scrolls

yond power of

winter's

cold control









Said one:

There is no room

at the inn

no room for more

than two

upon the ark

no room there

no room here

no room in the heart



Said another:

There is not just 1 inn

but many mansions

infinite mansions

There is not just one ark

but fleets everywhere

There is room here

There is room there

There is room in all hearts.



(to Amos Oz and to JF)

PAINTER ONE WITH HIS PAINTING



The painter's smock is daubed

with the pastels of his palate.

He has become one with his painting.

While his portrait is concentrated

and Virgo specific

his abstract smock is light-full

and Pisces pacific.



(to Marvin Katz)

good tidings

to thirsty sands

for the cleanup of the toxins

of Union Carbide which it owns..

WHALES



They will find

as they sail

to try to slaughter the

world's seals and whales

Over there

through slits in the clouds

pour waterfalls of light,

while yonder they stream

in parallel glowing shafts



I DELIGHT NOT IN THE SHEDDING

OF GREEN BLOOD



Mother Nature sent

.. that Jesus was

thinned from the human

herd while on the cross.



IT'S ALL RELATIVE

if you're with the FBI

and if you're undercover

it's ok they say to lie

They romanticize James Bond's

'license to kill'

and they break and enter

in Iraq...

money seeking surgeons

kill with their knives

... those in authority

often take lives

babies'

fragile lives

MARYLAND MOUSE MOTHER



The little mouse mother had gently

out)



ARBORICIDE



Arnold Schwarznegger is the

FRUIT OF WAR



it was not a fate gentle

which shot off his genitals

nor a kind fate

which blinded his army buddy

another buddy to be burned

limbs.. or part of a face





NOT EVERY SOLDIER IS POOR



Not every soldier is poor..

some were socialized to be sheep

by sheepish parents and school systems

some love violence and are attracted to systems of violence

some are ignorant of their rights and the military

like to keep them that way

some were lied to by military recruiters





NOT SCRIPTURE BUT PATHOLOGY

shedding of blood

.. they care not for

the mother bird's brood

.. for her and cows and lambs

they make a cruel rood

*







Leviticus 29And on day 8 she shall take unto her 2 turtles, or 2 young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 30And the priest shall offer the 1 for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness. 31





LIQID MUCUS



The liquid stolen mucus

they call egg nog

it does the heart

and cerebral arteries clog

the ough in tough rhymes

with rough

the ough in cough rhymes

with doff

SPIRIT CHRISTMAS TREE



Hanging with zillions of

stockings

for each creature

is the living Spirit Christmas Tree

as tall and wide

as Infinity





DR FRANKENSTEIN LIVES



Doctor Frankenstein lives

in many forms..

myriad priests of black magic..

pharmaceutical whores

sacrificing terrified animals

suffering pain

on their bloody altars

of greed for money or fame..

These monster 'scientists'

are blocked from their

intuition* through which

angels would give them

answers ... instead

they draw and quarter

and boil

and stomp and crush

and freeze the innocents.



(dedicated to

Charles A. Vacanti, MD,

Director of the Laboratory for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Brigham and Women's Hospital

Vandam/Covino Professor of Anaesthesia

Harvard Medical School

Boston, Massachusetts



Thomas E. Starzl

Transplant Surgeon

Professor of Surgery

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania



one of the 2 above put an ear on the

back of a captive mouse.. one took the liver

of a baboon to transplant into a human being..

In addition Johns Hopkins cardiologists in

their school of medicine are sacrificing

mice)



(Einstein said in his autobiography that angels

gave him the theory of relativity in a dream..

the discoverer of the benzene ring dreamt of

a snake biting his tail.. before that no scientists

were aware that molecules came in rings

... the inventor of the sewing machine dreamt

of Indians walking through the woods carrying

spears, each of which had a hole in the point)





IRA FLATOW



Today Ira Flatow

who treats

animals as playdough

was advocating

that pigs be used

as living farms to grow

organs for humans in need.



What if this project should

begin and end with one person

Ira Flatow? Does he want

now to donate his eyes to one,

his ears to another,

his legs to a third, his kidneys

liver heart and so on?



God strike Ira Flatow with

the lightning bolt of

compassion now that he

begin to make amends

... and receive mercy not

justice.



(Michael Bloomberg, billionaire

thief of NY elections, who has

contributed to Johns Hopkins,

is perhaps 1 reason that

pharmwhore NPR had guests

from Johns Hopkins on not just

one but 2 shows today)

(Ira Flatow is one of many pharmwhores

on National (Pharm) Public Radio..

others are Kevin Klose, Barbara Rehm,

etc.)



CHERRYSTONES



How terrible to call clams

cherrystones

Only the tabernacles of

new cherry trees

are cherry stones

Unlike clams they do not

mind

being untimely ripped

from their fleshy thrones



(shellfish are the number 2

cause of hepatitis since

they are coprophagous

eating human and other

waste)



NEWSPAPER



Such a small percentage

of newspaper

is not felled tree new paper





INVEST IN NONVIOLENCE



it is safer

not to invest

in murdered cadavers

people ingest



PIGGY BEAR



he once had a

cat

named Piggy Bear

.. with such fat

and cute sweet paws

.. his loving aura

enfolded

even his hidden claws

Whatever

he wished for

was brought

by the reindeer

with Santa Claus



RICHARD NIXON'S CAPRICORN



Richard Nixon's

capricorn

knew withering heights



JESUS IN THE TEMPLE



Jesus walked into the temple

and saw the many thousand

animals hanging upside

down.. lambs, turtle doves...

blood pouring out of their

throats

as sands of time quickly

poured out of their

shattered hourglasses

.. as

life ebbed away

and their souls

rose from

murdered bodies

KANGAROOS OBJECT



Kangaroos strenuously object, said their

attorney, to

the designation of the Bush junta

farce, the illegal trial of Saddam Hussein,

as a kangaroo court.



Their spokesperson said kangaroos

are equitable and merciful,

while the trials of Hussein

and Milosevic are neither.



Omnis also object to

all those terming themselves

omnivores.



WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?



Bush is manipulated

by puppeteers

paid by war profiteers



GURU TREE



Who gives 100%...

all.... totally?

The teacher tree

Who gives to

all.. equally?

the teacher tree





FODDER



When sustenance is given

to humans, it is called food.

When it is given to animals,

human chauvinists call it feed.

When it is given to cannons

by war profiteers

it is called fodder.





OXFAM MEANS KILLING OXEN

CAUSES FAMINE



Oxfam

means

killing

oxen

causes

famine.



(The 'relief' agency murders animals

and promotes the murder of animals,

thereby causing desertification,

disease, suffering, and death.)



BUSH MEAT



What does Bush meat mean?

Does it mean the primates

killed in the African bush whose

bodies cause AIDS when eaten

by humans?

Or does it mean the

promotion of Mad Cow animal

flesh by the Amarillo Texas

cowboy driven George Bush?

or the fruit of the coffins

returning to the US

.. sent to harm by

war profiteers?





INDWELLING ANGEL



In each being

is an indwelling angel

.. the eyes are the wings

.. the nose is the body

and the third eye is the head



FERTILIZED EGG



Every day the

fertilized egg of night

streaks with

the sun's blood veins



(leave the egg alone..

do not crack it into

the skillet of cruelty)



NEVER OVERGROWN



They said the grass

was overgrow

obscuring the cemetery's

stone

but 'overgrown'

is an impossibility

.. and green life

obscures words of

death



EMPTINESS



Because the manger

was empty,

it held the Baby Jesus.

Because the ears

were empty

they could listen

with love.

Because the heart

was empty of desire

it could hold

sacred fire.

The tomb was empty

.. a sign that Jesus

had resurrected..



Vacuums create flow

In them light glows

In them air blows

In them earth grows.



A miracle sire

is the empty nest

A miracle sire

is emptiness
