FRIDAY (6/19/09)


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…

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

RIP, children of God…    ---(“Hundreds attend Mercer Island vigil, march for murdered Israeli hostages”)---    Dear mourners, this is the brutal vacuum of a genocidal, terror-filled, indiscriminate war-machine made of fear and we are all hostages to its deafening roar!

sdrawkcaB nruT (Turn Backwards)

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
