Taliban threatens to kill captured GI
A colossal, gloom stuffed breathing thing
Moved over the land with a push from inadvertent liberty.
They said they weren’t sure if it was from this world
And begged the hostage to find the nearest well hole and
Drag it kicking and screaming down with him...

Chaos besets 9/11 court hearing
O, thank you, lords of turmoil,
Thank you for this stunning day;
How bone quaking hideous it must be.

Keep Guantanamo open, September 11 families say
Great red gash spreading open
With terror in its womb;
All those who love this land
Stand and watch with dismay.

Judge Sotomayor and My Lesson From Eighth Grade
The little girl wore her best outfit to school.
Her mother knitted it for her in much the same way
She had woven the sweet child from birth,
Knowing it would never be enough for some.

Blasts kill 2 Marines in Afghanistan
As we stand near the afternoon window and the sun dances
Through the glass, someplace a marine gets lifted and
Children lose their mom or dad in the crowd
While our hearts pound out misery’s song.

Children die in harsh Peru winter
The snow unfastens a child’s fortress and a bluebird’s
Song- their expression moves through the Inca Empire
Where an enduring chain of anticipation
Shadows a cruel, beautiful landscape.

Cheney hid CIA program from Congress: senator
It must be a lonely walk into the fortified mind
Bent upon
The insensible air of cruelty leaning smugly against the wall.

Two Held in Murder of Fla. Couple With 16 Kids
Murder, must you rear your monstrous head within this?
Must you grin with such pride at having triumphed?
Soon you shall be asked, “Is death done with you?”

6 Baghdad churches bombed; 4 dead
Why must they weep so?
Aren’t they proficient at grieving
Like a child that’s never dreamt?
I shall ask this of them when death is done.

Eugenics – Making a comeback?
~
Future Man - Eugenics
We are your only decent invention! Your only certainty!
We’ve feet of your entrenched and scornful history! We are not leaving,
So stand still thy bias, we to more honest slaves conceive.

Quiet crackdown drains Iran dissidents
They took off their shoes and planned
And their naked feet paced a new journey
Which now stirs inside every room.
Shoes cannot represent this moment,
It’s feet and hands and the flame of a newborn star.

Ready or Not, Iraq’s Military Prepares to Stand on Its Own
Prepare to make your way in the manner you see fit
Like the depth and curve of a valley;
Shaped by vigor and crushing force,
Yet on the crimson breath of a new morning.

Jackson family 'want new autopsy'
Speed it past our minds, this doubt.
Hurry beyond our sick and prying judgments.
Float above, where the angel voices linger.

Ruth Madoff forfeits asset claims, left with $2.5 million
Poor Ruth, she senses that it’s not enough;
Her life’s flipped over on a foggy turnpike,
Skidding headlong into the swindled horde.

Obama Turns Up Heat on Senate to Pass Climate Bill
And the fuming beast tosses our bodies
Through the clammy air of our mad dash.
We watch it as it’s happening, aghast,
And turn to hear the dismal sky speak our name.

Right-Wing Extremist – Joe the Plumber
There are those that are remembered souls
And those that are forgotten,
Then there are the forgettable assholes…

Gay Exorcism Video
Come! Manifest thy vigorous and crippling glory,
Spit thy upright venom atop my prone and unclean
Skin, rend it complete to partial bone and space,
But above all, Lord, keep thy charlatans away.

Michael Savage Threatens Media Matters Staff
O Savage, steal your mask away, place your microphone down low
So your sheep might not listen in…“Take heed. They’ve already come for you,
Seeking to blunt your influence, your shtick. They’ve attended your airwaves
And found a loathing drone of inhumane righteousness and complete poppycock
Clearly, since you’re still yappin’, they felt it was apt for American classlessness."

Michael Jackson Dies
I suppose it’s only right,
Now that you’ve passed,
That they speak of your life’s splendor,
Your skill, as if you were a potent god
Moon walking on the pantheon floor.

Maliki Casting U.S. Withdrawal as Victory for Iraq
No. This will never do. It won’t construct a blockbuster war movie plot,
Hell, it won’t manage to break even or encourage our youth to bomb those
Brown skinned youths whose father’s scrape their knees upon prayer rugs
And whose mother’s howl at the gutless catchphrase, “collateral damage”.

Hamas leader: Obama must do more for peace
A shard of bone held to the sun for a moment, dull blades
Scattered all around, future carvings littering these streets.
The outcome we cannot know, nor what hatred’s sown
From the smoldering flesh pounded to dust on the storm.

Glenn Beck Plays with Barbie Dolls, Bill O’Reilly Looks on like a Sexually Repressed Bully
Yapping goddamned cretin and your squealing scamp gazing gratified,
Your wit's not playful and your doll’s humor seems lost on everyone
But you!
Your jokes are as dreadful and artless as your minds.

Support Health Care Reform that Addresses Needs of Women
She basks in the slender bone of sun that has embraced her disease
As she lies upon the biddable afghan knitted by her only daughter.

The birds of shadow have begun to fasten themselves `round her spirit;
On this day the sun will commence setting much earlier than she imagined.

Ask President Obama and his admin: Include the vision of a nuclear weapons free world in Nuclear Posture Review
The sound was deafening; a howling hell blew through the skies,
Shattered streetlights emitting a darkness lined the broken streets,
Sentries at their stations with bloodshot eyes were broken of sleep.

Congress Should Require an Exit Strategy from Afghanistan
There will come a day when the sirens will cease their racket
And the hollow whistle of dried bone will be the new alarm
Fetching our soldiers pace within the guns blistering melody.
By then, the word “exit” will be of little or no significance.

Don't Let the Insurance Industry Dictate Health Care Reform
Each dark chord that blares above the gloom is worthless!
All of the greedy hounds that howl over the aged and ailing
Shall be met with forty million tongues soaring to the sun!

Don't fund more F-22 fighter jets!
Blown skin and blood scattered.
Crushed bodies. Tips of fingers.
Blasted, strafed, split and shattered.
Flicked across the sandspeckled canvas
Waiting to paint again, until the wind
And nobody even remembers them being there.

Save Lions From Carbofuran Pesticide Poisoning!
When they came for the lion, I looked away.
When they came for the gorilla, I said nothing.
When they came for the whale, I fell silent.
When they came for the owl, I was quiet.
When the lions came for me, I screamed.

Call on Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate and prosecute Bush-era torture, etc
Seeing the old man who moved like a sloth across the parking lot
Stumbling a path waged in determination and loaded with angst,
I began to see the future. A panorama of a rebellious reckoning
With a gnarly toothed reality of necks bent in disappointment.
Our smugness, suffering tossed out like crumbs to the starving,
Begins its vengeful quake across all the gloom we’ve scattered.

Send Harry Reid an email, asking that he not allow drilling in any global warming or climate bill that comes up in Senate
Drill down to the cry of oceans
Drill down to the cry of birds
Drill down, drill down, drill down
Loose the hell hounds come howling
Loose the next monstrous wave
Loose the next hoarfrost and eddy
Drill down, baby. Drill down.

Please cosponsor the Senator Paul Simon Water for the World Act of 2009 (S. 624)
Water. Water. Water. Water. Wate. Wat. Wa. W.

Sign petition showing your support of Congress' work to reform America's health care system
They won’t fix what ails you for no stinking shriek or prayer or howl...
Hell no! It’s going to take a hell of a lot more than human consideration
to stitch up your son, or radiate your daughter, or treat your parents!
It’s going to take a goddamned miracle!
A malodorous, impractical, goddamned phenomenon!
Ain’t no spare change or extra angel wings to save us!
Bone cracking, god-smacking miracles to come roaring!
I’ve more faith in congress…

Support a Cautious Response to the Iranian Election
I am turning the lights out now
A heavy summer heat hovers over the ground.
Before the morning light lifts this crimson boil
Many will have marched in solidarity on far off streets
While others watch with bewilderment, a mini shock and awe.

Tell Congress to require legislation be posted on the Internet for 72 hours before debate
This rattling the cage will not wake them
They’ve been asleep for too long,
They’ve not been greeted sorely.
This noise will never match that which came before;
Hell’s throat, deafening, piercing the skies with war.


TRADE Act Introduction Imminent: Write Your Rep!
Since they’ve lost hearing from their piercing dreams
Since they’ve discarded the people for the money vote
Since we’re dying in a war that will never have a victor
Since our words have lost their meaning… we write.


Remove the Trojan Horse from Global Warming Legislation
It moved toward the castle with death’s grace,
Creaking and clanking along the wet terrain.
Its reflection swam inside their anxious eyes
As its massive frame came shuddering to a halt.

It loomed over the castle like an ominous god….


Tell Congress to Strengthen the Clean Energy Bill!
The morning sun reflected off of its golden mane
And the people moved toward it like zombies.
In lock-step they found their purpose, their guts,
And wielded the mightiest of weapons…

Immigration Talk With a Mexican/American

Eliminationist Gear at Café Press – Scott Roeder is an American Hero
The pages are alive with lifeless gods and pale blossoms
Painted with too much glee as if a child stroked the paper,
Grinning at his creation. Offerings of murky madness
That scream unhinged slaughter more than glee or satire.
Posed as freedom’s rant; naive, normal, nontoxic furor,
A bitter thought crawls up from infection to its birth.

Neo-Nazis Working Their Way Inside the Military
Soiled hearts and souls that the air drops off- the ground
Has a sickness creeping forward, sowing cruel emblems
And ashen ideas through the caged veins of their children,
Who’d rather, given the chance, reject the virus altogether.

Fox News Gives Lecture on Iran’s “Stolen Election
They want to slaughter this thing within their filth.
They worship their empty voices with seditious folly
And gaze content at their form in front of the mirror,
Had they but the thought to look down at their hands.

Scarborough Blames Obama’s Cairo Speech for Iran’s Election “Chaos”
There’s enough to go around, Joe.
By the way, you’ve a stain on your sleeve.
It looks like blood, but it’s only makeup;
The blush that matches your clown disguise.

This Week in Memoriam
I know the deceit that lowers you down;
Oil, greed, profit, god- lust, ego, apathy-
Entrenched deep below artificial liberty.

SC GOP Activist Jokes that Escaped Gorilla is Michelle Obama’s Cousin
Surely you’ve more to present than these,
Cousin? Ape, monkey, gorilla, chimpanzee…
Maybe you’ve a nigga joke up your sleeve,
Or some soiled slur pursing smutty lips,
Or vigorous insult roaring out another slit,
Perhaps a razor to offend upon your wrist?

Netanyahu accepts limited Palestinian state
If you give up your guns and your rockets and turn your eyes away,
You can live in what little space that is left for you to stand.
If you accept this, your sentence, you’ll also acknowledge your fate…

Crowds join Ahmadinejad victory rally
Majority rules on Election Day with its bright lights on.
Save for the house arrest of the graying reformer,
Iran teeters similarly to our own uncertain and valued vote;
An alleged coup d'état, intimidation, chaos, rumors;
We only think... imagine that we're vastly different.

Threats, violence seen eroding U.S. abortion rights
If thou give up thy lawful rights and turn thou eyes toward our god,
We will smile and praise thy goodness. If not, we shall execute thee
And all of thy children, born or unborn matters not…
Amen.

Gas Prices Jump Another 17 Cents a Gallon
There is no rest for the imperially wicked.
Plotting what is next that will divert our attention
From the thing that truly matters- The Constitution.
O! Permit this, our liquid god, consume us first!

Urban Coyotes Have Streetwise Ways
Animals roam our streets and drink our water
And devour our children with their blood-filled lust.
No. It is not the coyote that has learned from us.

Israel targets smuggling tunnels in Gaza
There will be no tunnel here, no resistance exposed by
Bared teeth or fitful soul, only those bent and docile
Shall unbend their backs and burrow out of their grave.

Gunman kills guard at U.S. Holocaust Museum
No.
I can’t imagine the foul deed set between this dog’s teeth
Leaning awkwardly against death’s unbending carry.
There must be something- illusory power tethering murder?
An unplumbed urge sitting in some bar with an open tab?
Something that has nothing to do with killing a human being.
There are other dogs howling his name, should we be alarmed?
Yes.

Iran's president attacks election rivals
There’s something quaint about this story.
Something evocative in its promenade,
Swagger if you will.

U.N. powers agree on draft North Korea sanctions
Hideous grins loom over the collapsing façade
Each with its own face, its own scheme; enclosure.
Pin the beast down… brand a sneer upon mad lips.

A Fixture on the Supremacist Fringe
HITLER’S WORST MISTAKE:
HE DIDN’T GAS THE JEWS.
JAMES VON BRUNN
WWW.HOLYWESTERNEMPIRE.ORG
Remember, the Federal Reserve Act (1913) gave JEWS control of America’s MONEY. Followed by control of America’s main sources of information .
Early on, during the war-torn 20th Century, the only broadcast networks : ABC, CBS, and NBC — were JEW owned. Today, JEWS control ALL important sources of information (The major networks, Newspapers, Magazines, Book-publishing, Tin-Pan Alley, Music & Recording Industry, Hollywood, Encyclopedia Britannica, Public schools and Universities, the Catholic Church, etc.).
Bit by bit Liberalism ascended. Bit by bit the Constitution was re-interpreted. Bit by bit government institutions and Congressmen fell into JEW hands — then U.S. diplomacy, businesses, resources and manpower came under JEW control.
Whitemen sat on their collective asses and did NOTHING - NOTHING BUT TALK. Never before in World history has a Nation so completely been conquered with absolutely NO physical resistance.
Whites LOVE their Enemies.
Today, on the World stage, Whitemen are LAUGHED AT, their women bred by stronger men.
And America ?
America is a Third-World racial garbage-dump — stupid, ignorant, dead-broke, and terminal.
Prepare to die, Whitey.
jvb-88

Von Brunn,
Your rambling, unbearable descent into artful madness followed hard upon
Your terribly ordinary yet dreadfully mad, compulsive mind
Which found you to be altogether artless when all was said and done.

Holocaust shooter was big fan of Sarah Palin by Gryphen of The Immoral Minority
This is the oven your grandmother baked with all of her life.
She spent every day here… just baking, baking and baking.

Where did grandma get such a frightfully big oven, Mama?

She could not say. She would not say. She thought,
Sears? JC Penny? Wal-Mart? K-Mart? Auschwitz?
It was her job, dear, baking. She baked everything.
She’d’ve baked your grandfather had she known what he’d do.

At least 9 dead in Pakistani hotel blast
The living will and must one day join the dead.
Terror will and must discover its own way out.
But, only this am I sure of- nothing lasts.

Nearby Star May Be Getting Ready to Explode
We still had doorways filled with the hungry,
Air choked gasoline cars and unbuttoned wars
When the sun exploded. A sight to behold.

Mercy plea for held US reporters
Euna Lee and Laura Ling were not alone in their frantic plea.
The parent’s gasps were sentenced to twelve years of labor-
A heaving wave smothering freedom’s beacon;
China’s Guantanamo.

Crews find more bodies from Air France crash
Wind, rain, lightening, sky, wish…
Floating now. Moving us down,
A weight atop such laden grief.
Wind, rain, lightening, sky, wish…

CIA: Keep Documents From Bush Era Sealed
Secret codes, men in black suits, government assassins,
Covert operations, state secrets, ticking time bombs,
Civilization in peril and grandiose, riveting car chases…

I’m no longer convinced that James Bond isn’t realistic,
Isn’t a mirror image of our special agents in action.
At least it gives justification for not getting at the truth.

U.S. forces build in Afghanistan
Adversity sinks its teeth into 20/20 vision
Acting as omen for the blow that’s sure to come.
March on America, into the goddamned sun!

FBI Director Defends Use of Informants in Mosques
Worshipping god-fowled information
Fells the wall between prayer
And the listener;
Their ears to God’s lips.

Don’t Ask Don’t Tell via The Pagan Sphinx
If we tossed our minds out to sea
They’d not know of our blindness.
We’d not know of their mindless natter
And our fervent double standards.
We’d neither know, nor ask;
Useless as our feigned equality.
