Dracula Hates The Bright
DRACULA HATES THE BRIGHT
in the name of hatred
of sunny headed dandelions
and bumblebees
many fill Mother Earth
and the seas with
poisons: herbicides and insecticides
DRUDGERY
doing drudgery at the mill
People by the millions
facing raping utility bills
adding to the rich's billions
as regime bulldozers
crush trilliums
and steal from the poor
by the trillions
WAR TAX RESISTER
The war tax resister
prepared for prison..
thinking that he would
exercise and teach
and meditate and read
and write letters
... but the war ended
and the threat melted
away.
JACK IN THE BOX
There was a Catholic man who
attended mass early in the morning
.. and who sat in the back
that he not have frequently
to sit stand kneel
sit stand kneel
.. his meditation interrupted
like a Jack in the Box...
that he not feel
like one of those captive animal
cows or kangaroos
killed for fast
food chains like Jack in the Box
SHOPLIFTERS AND PICKPOCKETS
Prosecutors the records winnow
seeking not war profiteer sharks
but shoplifter minnows.
Police pursue
not purloining plutocrats
but pickpockets
ignoring the makers of lethal and
rickety rockets.
SEAN HANNITY
We could dismiss his inanity
We could dismiss his insanity
We could dismiss his great vanity
We could dismiss Sean Hannity
if he were not killing around
the world
with his words
if he were not, as he whores for Fox
and ABC, causing great harm.
God take him off the air waves
until angels help him complete anger
management, world history, compassion
and other subjects.
Harness the wind energy from his
mouth... to stop the energy crisis

PROLIFE?
Through the movement to protect first trimester fetuses,
gay or misogynist bishops cardinals and pastors have exerted control over the
bodies of women and have arranged behind the scenes the fraudulent elections of those who bomb the babies of Muslims. Many of the conservatives in the 'prolife' movement who support war
also support execution or state murder and the eating of innocent animals.
As the world's population gets
larger and larger, trillions of animals
have been bulldozed into oblivion
as the trees which were their homes
were cut down to make room for
new wood homes or cattle ranches
as the constant consumption of
human beings spiraled out of control.
KITCHEN
They ran for the homeless
a control freak's kitchen
On the door a sign said
'don't feed the pigeons'.
Some wanted to send the
birds to regions stygian
as they continued their
rather circumscribed religions.
DIVINE MISSIONS
God sent Joan of Arc to drive the imperialist English out
of France, Gandhi to drive them out of India,
Ben Franklin to drive them out of the US, and is sending exorcists
and boycotters to drive them out of the banking, butcher, pharmaceutical
and oil industries.
SHROUD
The uniforms of recruited soldiers are shiny. The martial music has a beat. But the shrouds of coffins of the
returning dead are the flags of solid black, which covers the
skulls of violent death.
OXFAM
Oxfam kills cows.
Oxfam means
"Killing oxen brings famine".
FAUCI
It is possible that
in his next life NIH's Anthony Fauci
will find himself a lab animal
in a cage.. and be very grouchy
CE SOIR
ce soir
we will close
the abbatoirs
near the river Loire
says the soul
of Renoir
.. to slaughter
we say 'au revoir'
RICE AND STRAW
A very distasteful
mixture is a dish
of rice and straw,
of henhawk and
chickenhawk.
SUN FIRE
Vitamin C, forgiveness, positive thought, sunfire
... are with fruit diet
healers and detoxifiers
YOU ARE INDISPENSABLE
Every Rao, Kim, Wong
and Flannery
will end a world
in which canaries
end in canneries
and deer and cows' skins
are sent to tanneries
..no more cooking
of animals' lungs
.. no more severing
of larks from their tongues
.. for each does now decide
that all forms of killing
are deicide
EBENEEZER SCROOGE
pawns of petroplutocrats
.. who hoard trillions..
object to minimum wage
.. which none of them would work for
petroplutocrats whose last thoughts
as they must leave their hoarded
gold are sometimes full of rage
that others will enjoy the fruits
of their theft
CASCADE
a divine compassion struck him
and he became verbal
about the rights of each mouse and gherbil
and the rights of trees and bushes
and all beings herbal
REGIME LEADERS
They fund UC Davis paralyzing of chimps.
And fail to publicize hepatitis from shrimp.
They let fast food outlets
turn children into blimps.
In New York and Washington
for war profiteers they pimp
And ignore soldiers returning
paraplegic
blinded or with a limp.
MAY W BE SILENT
The dictionary said that the w is silent in the words two, answer,
and sword. The w, cuckoo bird in the stolen nest of the
White House, has angered the vast majority of Americans by
not being silent as he promoted the organized violence of
war profiteers.
CORNYN
Shrieks of cageraised
birds released in nets
shot by Senator John Cornyn
foil the silent peace of the cornfields
in the light acorning
while the songs of
birds far from Cornyn
are in their throats aborning
and the sun keeps his
promise to return
to earth each morning.
CASEY
In Pennsylvania a vast quorum
votes for Casey not Santorum..
in eighty one percent of the forums
they support Casey whose
light is aurum
HARPER OF CANADA
The Canadian government in 2006 paid fishermen
to club seals with pikes of steel.
As a sealer killed seals,
Harper has killed harp seals.
harpseals.org
SKERRY
Oh trees of wild cherry
and brambled bush of berry
grow on the heights
of the seagirt skerry*
* a small rocky isle covered by the sea at high tide or during storms
NINE MINUTES
In the old days of the Bell
sisters, they tapped their employees,
discriminated against minorities
and those over 50, pricegouged,
etc. But they had fast service.
When we listened to AT&T say the
wait would be 9 minutes..
we knew that the Group Chief
Operator would have fired them
for lousy response time.
GLAXO SLIDE
British shareholders can vote
on management's pay.
Glaxo has dropped 1/3
as the vaccine industry
has been exposed
as British animal rights
activists continue to
gather critical mass
Today Glaxo shareholders
voted against
a 35 million dollar
severance package
for a CEO
but if they truly
had ethics.. they
would dump their
Glaxo stock
