SATURDAY (5/31/08)

Shuttle Discovery lifts off
The executioner lifts his wrath-shaped blade that sprayed our limbs, all that worship this, death’s enraged use- are given an eyeless mongrel, one that cannot gaze upon man’s achievement, only rumble that he not live.

Aid appeal for Ethiopian children
It’s a tall shame that we spend so much time spending. A towering shame we do not ration more of it openhanded. How long must we witness this? Endure it? Allow the foul air to churn? We’ve seen their pitiable expression for too many Goddamned fly-ridden years! How many more shall pass before their faces turn out to be ours?

One soldier dead and 6 wounded in Afghan suicide blast
Good news, American Empire. Good news indeed. Out of the six blast-shredded flesh that were sent tapping, none embodied Old Glory!

Different State of Race Relations
When it comes to the races, we’re all the same, old kings and queens, kingdom’s whores wearing the same weary faces.

Obama Leaves Chicago Church
Maybe its time we as humans left the church, strode above the decayed and dying spirit and grasp hold of our dreary living, unused and rotting `neath our skins. Stop acting like children with phantoms under our bed and begin to act like conscious creatures and put an end to our preying over the dying and dead.

ROOT OF

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." __1 Timothy 6:10 It is MONEY, not the LOVE of it that is the issue, the true problem. Love, in and of itself, is never a problem, WANT and NEED, or better yet- the WANT and the conundrum of its very REQUIREMENT for our survival IS the problem, it's creation and our blind use of it is logically the ROOT. In other words, let's leave LOVE out of it altogether and deal with the facts instead. If money were not made by us as a requirement for our survival, we'd find ourselves in a much better position to argue of its need and our want of it. MRP Peace and Love © 2015 Mark Richard Prime

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
