i am out of control
& at times hard to handle -
but if you cant handle me at my worst-
then you sure as hell dont deserve my best

the
body
screams
what
the
mouth
wont
utter

i dont know what it is about you
that closes and opens
only something in me understands
the voice in your eyes is deeper than all roses

there can only be a need for forgiveness
when first there is blame;
and there can only be blame
when first there is misunderstanding.

today
along with a dear friend & her children
my margo and i
headed to city hall
to hear what some elected officials and ministers had to say about *equality*

the media was there
and allowed to ask questions;
however
we citizens were not -
and if we did pose a question
were labeled ‘hecklers’

is the media not there to observe and document?!

why were the citizens not given equal time to express our views?!
or presented the opportunity to ask legitimate questions?

& they dared not address the question i posed
about the bible condoning slavery -

it comes down to this:
these people feel the united states was built upon the bible
and that their interpretation of the bible should be the law;
this would mean
those who are not straight
are not considered fit in the eyes of god
and therefore should not be given equal rights

in flanders fields the poppies blow
between the crosses row on row
that mark our place; and in the sky
the larks still bravely singing fly
scarce heard amid the guns below

we are the dead short days ago
we lived felt dawn saw sunset glow
loved and were loved and now we lie
in flanders fields

take up our quarrel with the foe
to you from failing hands we throw
the torch; be yours to hold it high
if ye break faith with us who die
we shall not sleep though poppies grow
in flanders fields

if the

shine . . .

you cant be suspicious of a tree
or accuse a bird or a squirrel of subversion
or challenge the ideology of a violet
