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.

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. .
