Too bad people with closed minds would not have closed mouths also.

Budget

We all know the answer. The banks and Wall Street must be forced to pay for the losses incurred. A progessive tax must be installed so that the majority of the taxes falls on people making over $100,000. People making in the millions, like Senators, need to be taxed thoroughly. We all know the answer.

For love of country

Stand up
against the silence of words
if you work toward something,
hard work,
they will say you stole it.
Do not let them censor things,
do not let them yell in our faces,
do not believe the lies they write,
question what you have heard.
Try try to not let terror throw your mind,
or physically abused, for they will call you
a terrorist. The corporate world will try to
color you as such, when all you stand for is
equality and rights.
Will it be criminal to say "Constitution"
any more?
We must aspire to be more like Mandela,
informed and loving.
Our elders know life on levels
that the young do not yet understand.
Listen to them,
if you have children, you might know
that we must stand for freedom
forever in our land.

"The smoker you drink, the drummer you get."

The Aqualicatist

The Aqualicatist
why we ask about rules not yet shared
sometimes further ever after we divine the rules shared
an artist not easily beguiled
water flowing through streaking mud
ginger chewed to bring on a radar map of storms
double zero I have dialed
relinquishing form
flesh a bringer of liquid form
amid mud and sticks and stones
we evolve against gravity, anarchy, entropy
sometimes further ever after we divine the rules shared
water-born scientists with form
even if the words and rules are all
made up.

City Foods on 5th and Vine

Why does Bob get away with telling the public (and I have witnesses) harrassing me while I have bought things there, telling the public that I am "schizophrenic" just to be cruel and it is not true, and then telling customers who come in there from my neighborhood that "I am nothing but a nut" and what a waste it is to protect and be just toward citizens such as myself and Victoria. That is harrassment. He should be sued like Jim Ware only for different reasons. If Jim Ware gets mad at me because I call him on his lies, he tells lies and tries to smear me and has done so. Patrick too. The three amigos. How much abuse can a person take? I am edgier and more afraid and it is easier for me to fly off the handle which I hardly ever do. I just don't feel like my happy joyful self and instead of dealing with these roots of problems, CPC just tries to medicate me further into lobotamy state. Hard to work and be creative that way. The whole thing is a travesty!

Why was I psychologically attacked and smeared in the U District when I was trying to heal from schizoaffective disorder, PTSD and severe depression? It made me crazy to the point of spending into deep holes as a side effect. I took a few things (a bottle of wine and some swords, I have no idea why??? but was not rational at that point) and then returned them or payed for them the next day with the wine. I took a roll of quarters once to buy alcohol and replaced the money next day at work for coping reasons. Why didn't they give me hydroxizine instead of leaving me hanging into the wind and freaking out inside...so I would need alcohol to calm down? Also, Why were so many things stolen from me? I wanted something back for everything including my life destroyed and taken away. What kind of society does this to a member?? Why is Patrick such a coward like my parents have been? My parents are just now starting to care and work with me after all these years. Patrick is dangerous and sly and a pathological liar, so I may not get payed back, if only a little and he will justify it in his mind that he has payed me back. Jim Ware lied to me a number of times, and I bet he has no intention of ever squaring up with me. He and Patrick by the numbers should be serious felons...but how does one get justice when Jim kept our hours and we have no record? Fearful and scared.
