Why WAR? Timothy r gates, 3/24/2008
Hatred in my own heart
guilt for what I should have done
guilt for what I could have done
shame for what I didn't do,
still don't do,
still do.
WAR?
The President's fault?
Congress's fault, or Senate's fault?
Their fault?
Our fault?
Who is at fault?
WAR?
Hatred in my own heart
I choose to call my neighbor...

'Why don't we weep any longer?' timothy r gates, 3/20/2008
tears flow,
still
for those that have fallen,
fallen prey to others' reluctance for synergy,
bigotry prayed to be stolen,
but not yet
the dream,
near, yet aloof.
we weep,
still
for
those murdered because they reject the illusion of segregation
those murdered because they're in the way
those murdered because they're free-persons
those murdered...

'Grandeur Parody in Two Parts' timothy r gates, 3/11/2008
'grandeur parody, as with medicine' timothy r gates, 3/11/2008
grandeur parody
psychologist in peripheral plight
psychiatry looks the other way, with pills
md's and other doctors do the same, only with different pills
chiropractic adjustments,
massotherapy,
-add to this whatever the hell or heaven you want-
'We'll fix you; the others are quacks!'
trust only those...

'Angels fall; Angels true' timothy r gates, 3/11/2008
angels fall:
some are said to fall,
some are told they've fallen,
some don't know why they've not fallen;
some simply weep, praying for redemption
-not their own, but ours,
us who do not weep,
who've never fallen,
who've claimed all for themselves,
unable to see the blood-stained tears.
angels, swift to aid,
not seen, save by...

'Yes, I do, I too' timothy r gates, 3/10/2008
Yes,
we do,
I too,
stumble,
always,
'till we stub our toes upon a rock;
then we stop.
we look.
we behold.
we usually whisper, or more, 'damn,' or, 'shit,' or
if we don't swear,
we replace it with an euphemism, meaning the same, like,
'oh, my-oh-my-oh-my, ouch!'
then say, under our breath, 'damn,' or, 'shit.'...

'gay, not happy or fun' timothy r gates, 3/04/2008
gay, fun, happy
uncle Bob, died;
didn't need to,
but did,
thought he'd spare those,
family, friends, loved ones;
he fell asleep,
in his car,
in his garage,
alone,
because he was gay.
Uncle Bob never stole a child's innocence;
his straight brother did,
neither were happy,
neither had much fun,
one is dead,
yes,
because...

Love has no need to self-justify & War too....
'Love has no need to self-justify' timothy r g, 3/01/2009
Love has no need to self-justify
Love has no desire to make all the same
Love has no pleasure in another's loss,
even less when you win
Love blesses the Celts
blesses, Patrick, the Runes,
western yin-yang circles,
no need to claim originality
Love is not...
