Gunman kills guard at U.S. Holocaust Museum
No. I can’t imagine the foul deed set between this dog’s teeth leaning awkwardly against death’s unbending carry. There must be something- illusory power tethering murder? An unplumbed urge sitting in some bar with an open tab? Something that has nothing to do with killing a human being. There are other dogs howling his name, should we be alarmed? Yes.


Iran's president attacks election rivals
There’s something quaint about this story. Something evocative in its promenade, swagger if you will.

U.N. powers agree on draft North Korea sanctions
Hideous grins loom over the collapsing facade each with its own face, its own scheme, enclosure. Pin the beast down… brand a sneer upon mad lips.

A Fixture on the Supremacist Fringe
Your rambling, unbearable descent into artful madness followed hard upon your terribly ordinary yet dreadfully mad, compulsive mind, found you to be altogether artless when all was said and done.

Holocaust shooter was big fan of Sarah Palin by Gryphen of The Immoral Minority
This is the oven your grandmother baked with all of her life. She spent every day here… just baking, baking and baking.

Where did grandma get such a frightfully big oven, Mama?

She could not say. She would not say. She thought, Sears? JC Penny? Wal-Mart? K-Mart? Auschwitz? It was her job, dear, baking. She baked everything. She’d’ve baked your grandfather had she known what he’d do.

At least 9 dead in Pakistani hotel blast
The living will and must one day join the dead. Terror will and must discover its own way out. But, only this am I sure of- nothing lasts.

Nearby Star May Be Getting Ready to Explode
We still had doorways filled with the hungry, air choked gasoline cars and unbuttoned wars when the sun exploded. A sight to behold.

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
