Volunteered Efforts dragging the voices of sheltered, it wears well chosen textures round sharp black grains razor-edged blades of snake oil, anointing purse strings squalls gathering taking, closer looks carefully driven by hunger pacing back and forth like dogs snarling over road kill barred teeth, dangling hearts eating lives with a blood stained spoon while a sinister clock ticks shocking air, into traumatized demise walking deplorably intact listening for the ka-ching of ½ off sales tapping into deep welled corkscrews underscoring a mother’s frozen gaze intone, with prayers of designer suits half whacked conversations fat and old leaving friend’s, post it notes in the name of 22 year olds collecting white stoned wails of numbers in an unmarked critical list tavern hobgoblins, of hostile grenades pulling the pin on day to day super highways with zero cards of blocked pores mutations of the hearing-impaired cut yellow ribbons for the man world while media assigns readings for those cutting class microcosmics pulling rugs out from under deep abiding youth of those families, beneath a culture of hands folded on desks…signing a thousand anthologies, of those who never made it... propping up relief from the knee pain, of headless crimes... the ones that maintain killing woman and children legal picking dismembered flowers of humans like a prepared death squad, making the world safer, for indecent orders of power but i hold onto clarification of well chosen words from white horses and fear for humbled farmers, used as shields fighting with what little they own all in the name of petro... while rusty gun metal, hangs onto my window mumbling with stinking hairy arms about satan... taking dead americans as weighing machines all in the name of peace & occupied territory... +++++++++++ Note: I don't mean insult to anyone's beliefs, but my heart bleeds for the mothers & their families...and I just ponder Why? |

How can you insult anyone, m'friend... This reads like the captions of several large, viable newspapers... not gossip rags or teen mags but the real world that we need to see every day... even if poetically. You are a world watcher, but you hone it down, done finely to those who walk alone... I think you should stand, and curtsey...  |

Oh the tone of this portrays exactly how I feel, and neither do I mean disrespect, but concern that we choose the right reasons. I am extremely grateful and proud of our volunteers, and pray they be protected by His shield. Again, superb imagery to make your point. This one will linger with me for days. miscellanea |

"barred teeth, dangling hearts eating lives with a blood stained spoon while a sinister clock ticks shocking air, into traumatized demise walking deplorably intact listening for the ka-ching of ½ off sales" I will use a Jon Stewart quote that I admired greatly... "Note to Santa.....Please bring me a new culture for Christmas" "picking dismembered flowers of humans like a prepared death squad, making the world safer, for indecent orders of power but i hold onto clarification of well chosen words from white horses..." "making the world safer", indeed, for who? Dang, woman...you make me cringe with your words.....The truth sometimes does that to me...Please keep telling it... ------------ice ><> |
