Sweeping migrations blister countless disjointed ears Like a swirl shrugging winter’s intrusion collecting fears Lined moist compilations, receive slippery landings Right into our archives, so much for accountability & progress And all those inscriptions from the Wright Brothers While Hans Blix walks down memory lane Save the mentorship of what so easily escapes Like darkened leaves rotting in biblical twilight Carnage rips at liberation, detonating teamwork Unseen shadowy flocks of blackbirds feeding on occasional lovers Pretty unique rules with broad powers! Was it the rain soaking strangers, from a room darker then mine? In third world countries, slamming messages on line? Exchanging money for dirty bombs? Promoting their pursuit of grocery store chains I rip January from my calendar again Wondering if February will be a mimicry of hope Will we ever question our age? While they Snatch thoughts, hiding behind patches on their face Nude books feasting on religious holidays, eating out of their hands Clinging to the air of fresh intelligence in Baghdad Blurred by our own noise of cacophonous mirrors Could mandatory health insurance read their psyche? Is the safety of our sunbeam a first priority? While a couple in a small Texas town Gets 5 years for storing Cyanide compounds? Sidewalks gobbling up lost boys…eternally lost! Growing twins with razor sharp teeth, underground relief Persuading me, you and our populace to raise alert levels Is anyone listening out there?!!!! Possibilities holding direct elections indicating the majority? Yet thousands of blackened henchmen crust our country Eating the flesh right off of our memorials Bones left to dream of freedom and inspired moments Piece by piece they coax time from Sunday’s meal Until torrid shake downs insult every new moon Pretty soon, we’re all going to fall down And none of us will be able to get up |

I can’t say I agree for I will always see Hope in other’s eyes, and hear Love in others voices, I will always see the world through eyes that marvel in probably naivety at what man has accomplished. I hate to see anything with an O beside it, so I reply and gift you with the touch of this thought, you matter, and you always will. Please look again and try to see some hope and love, for they are there. They live in each of us, we just need to open our hearts and let the sun shine in, and it will believe me it will as always Mushy  Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

 (big angel hugs) Ditto to what you said, dearest friend, I find this Administration to be the worst we have ever had, and it nauseates me to hear many actually clap for something that tears away at so many individual rights with lies that endanger the world! (sad sigh) Until many realize they are deceived and deflect the distortions, we may never get up, you know who I'm voting for in 2004, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lee, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
