FRIDAY 04/11/08

GE Shocks Market with Profit Drop, Shares Tumble
The rumbled air pulls at the unyielding floor. It owns our unfilled pockets, hauls in lifetimes of anguish- the richness of shock and awe.

American air Cancels More Flights
By way of the vanishing road and rail we cross the skies as the mist of a morning river would climb a cliff ...We’ve always dreaded the sudden drop.

15-month Iraq Tours Test Soldiers and Families
March along now warrior. March along. The hue of occupation strokes these burnt homes and your occasion grows shorter, smaller, weaker, 12.

Chinese Anger and Terror Warnings Cloud Olympics
What bruised communion of hope and dread has slinked into this beautiful world? Everyone seems blind and numb, deaf and dumb, searching frantically for peace and human kindness in a contest of nations.

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

SKYFALL

Skyfall... We continue to play along with an unnatural game that has serious consequences, soon we'll find ourselves enslaved without recourse to the system. (Is that true of local charades?) Yes. (Why can't we free ourselves from the system?) The madness of money. (It's not money, it's people, right?) It's both, money and us in tandem, thus assuring money's might and our adherance to its loudness. (Madness...) Indeed. © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

THE ROCK HOLDS

The rock holds the soil in and from the soil springs the tree, the green of LIFE rolling from the blue, rising to the occasion of itself. . “Be!”, the (H)eartH declares, “Be what you are!” . (We thought we were!) . (We think we are!) . “You are, but not freely, therefore, only a thought, and a thought without much thinking, as if you were scared into it.”, the (H)eartH added. .
