If Reagan was silent
is that great communication?
My judgement is still

Well, we look at our
fathers past sins and the innocent?
Pay for it? what the hell?

An older couple reminds me of
my grandparents, that died
we can take sides

blame falls on many
but there are no returns

"If you don't learn from
history, you repeat it!":
poli sci adage...

but for poli sci
to be science - theory must
be repeatable!

therefore poli sci
must be applied ignorance
to maintain purpose.

there are two ways to
orchestrate terrorism,
the third world cold war.

be in the same back
room, or be in seperate
back rooms, smoking out.

in either, you take
sides, presume victory
support its pretense

trade in fear, so their
people and yours fall to play
follow the leader.

Not that it matters
but Scott needs to count all his
syllables again.

It was a really
good point he had, but he did
slam ash for it once.

Flight 93 we
hear wasn't shot down: voted
to rush hi-jackers

the popular count
was: let the plane crash killing
that dubya bastard!

the high court was called:
"stop the count, go rush
the pilot's cabin."

Ian Punnett tells
the black woman, "there are no
'home-grown' terrorists'."

not Tonkin Gulf, it's
Pearl Harbor; not October
Surprise, September!

Not Bhopal, even
Panama, and who did this?
Lee Harvey Oswald?

money talks, bullshit
squawks, when the news obfuskews
our departed truths

the pathetically
great communicator bought
his election when...

Reagan paid Iran
to keep hostages, secrets
kept impeachably.

That cat's something I can't explain.

You're the left side
He's the right side. Oh, no!
Ginger, ginger, Jennifer -

Gentle you're a witch.
Always sitting by your side
Always by your side.

Misanthropy for the poets brain

Like it or lump it;
like lumps on our brains after
beatings on our heads.

"Digital poetry for the horrible age."

Numerically contrived lyrics during hours of human despair.

...hmmm, I like the original definition of Bad Haiku better.
