TALIBAN LEADER KILLED

"Sometimes you get the war and sometimes the war gets you."

(That's supposed to be a bear, not war, Scribbler.)

We can't blame this death on a bear,
as a matter of fact,
there's not one death from war's countless
that belongs to the bear.
War is on man, not nature.

MOUNT EVEREST CLAIMS CLIMBERS LIVES

Better they be remembered for their bittersweet and final triumph,
than die men without any good history to speak of.

RESERVOIR DROPS TO LOWEST LEVEL IN HISTORY

Down, down, down
It sinks now, dropping
Down, down, down
Below the idea of time
Down, down, down
Thirst and famine
Down, down, down

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. . [a quietude begins, the truth being heard and heeded, grooving to the flow] ~ © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
