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.

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
