'Flowers in her hair' timothy r g, 06/25/07

peace went with the hair
does anyone care?
classic now, 'Does anyone care what time it is?'
over thirty, white panthers said they'd kill them
-they're over thirty.
War feeds the consumer mills,
the needs of the mall shopper,
the wants of the credit card carrier,
without it we'd have another 4-billion people to feed,
without it we'd need to do more than look for that trigger point,
'get the sale!'
without it we'd have to do something with all of the shit that hits the wall.
'smile, god loves you'
the better one,
'smile, god loves you;
everyone else thinks you're an asshole'
better,
'smile'
'flowers in her hair,'
not a metaphor then;
she wore them as part of her dance,
her hymn to beauty all around,
the hope that we'd all join in.


'voting' timothy r gates, 06/25/07

woman fought to do it
black Americans did the same
eighteen year olds can register to do so
they can also go to War;
right to vote:
vote for the right to have the right
vote for the right to choose not to do so
vote for the right of those you disagree to disagree,
publicly;
whites Christians and white atheists joined in this revolution
without the right there is no right to disagree
all must be, then:
white,
black,
brown,
red,
yellow,
this gender,
that gender,
young,
old,
middle-age,
liberal,
conservative,
libertarian,
Pagan,
Hindu,
Buddhist,
Zen Buddhist,
Jew,
Christian,
Moslem
Atheist,
Agnostic,
Theist,
Deist,
Pantheist,
Polytheist,
or, let us all join in with this right
as bullshitists.


'what next?' timothy r g, 06/25/2007

shit happens
bullshit walks
cowshit, if stepped in, causes hair to grow on your chest
(everything caused hair to grow on your chest, when I was a boy.
no one had the gonads to tell me where this hair was taken from.)
horseshit is extremely heavy to shovel out of the barn
your shit always stinks worse than mine
methane comes from pigshit
why not take the old shits on Capital Hill
and turn their shit into the new replacement fuel?
Maybe shit could give us 'War no more?'
