Georgia executes killer
Behind the thud of the pulse, small holes are pierced through and death scurries in to greet with pleasure the pinch of our breathing in its fading light.

Disease stalks survivors of huge Myanmar cyclone
At some point the disaster ends its attack. It is the way things have been, the way they are and will always be. Come another, nothing will change, save for the numbers.

3,500 US troops to head home from Iraq
Yes. Come home, dear soldiers. Come home. But why stop at such a lovely figure? Why such a pretty number like 3,500 instead of 4,073? I suppose that would never do, not round enough, knows how to carry more pain than freedom or living.

Iraqi Citizen Sues US Contractors Over Abu Ghraib Torture
No longer hanging upside down, bloody, naked and drowning, you seek justice in a counterfeit democracy- scream scream scream scream scream scream scream. Pause. Scream scream scream scream scream scream scream. Pause.

Laura Bush Slams Burma After Cyclone kills over 22,000
I’ve said it before, Laura… you’re a scowling whore! A scowling whore with a wealth-smeared persona, wrinkled brow and a cackling bloody mouth kissing the empty forehead of your murderous king!

FAULT METER

FAULT METER    When you get a question wrong you will hear three loud beeps followed by an even louder ticking of a clock.    (Like tick-tick-tick-tick-tick?)    You are half right.    (Like tock-tock-tock-tock-tock?)    You got two halves of it.    (Then I give up!)    You do?    (It ain’t out of weakness, it’s my adhdad.) I understand.    (You understand what?)    That it’s not out of any weakness on your part.    (Weakness, on my part in what?)    Never mind, it’s definitely adhdad.     •    We float, we fly, we soar! We find our wings in each other. We find friends, cousins of the one seed of existence. An existence which never began, but always was, that loves us enough to provide life’s needs, our own, the same. A collection of living peacekeepers upon the surface of the most heavenly example known to them. • © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

Per Plex Ed

            PER+PLEX-ED When you haven’t heard the truth in so long, when you do, it rings a most familiar s ong. That’s the human song, the truth rolling out exactly when it should.      (If a truth is told and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound only to the one that spoke it?)    Yes, but our ears aren’t strong enough to hear it.     [a perplexed silence] © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
