Pitching a traitors dream grandiose

Codes in mercenary’s clothes

Blackwater budgeted hurricanes foes

ACLU cries out for action

American Freedom!!!

A coming attraction???

The Military Commissions Act

Here is a fact

McCain was a yea

Obama a nay

Good ‘Old Ron Paul wasn’t dropping the ball

Whose party saw it written on the wall?

Was it a Bi-partisan plot after all?

Espionage cannot be brought

When our senate the constitution they drop

Triple Canopy profits top

When housing, energy, healthcare and food flop

Ruffian Rules instead of schools

Packing up profits while still in office

A child left behind treated unkind

While big business takes lease

Being bailed out….. and released

While disturbing our peace

Our pockets they fleece

BUSH fled with our freedom

With fleece for his kingdom

Doubt it?

Just read about it

Oiled old school

That’s just not cool

Disregarding all other input

Editing idea’s that weren’t hers

The species of her character unconfirmed

Forced to confront a voice that wasn’t hers

Listening for cues on how to relate

Her angle to what they said

Knowing all contacts in a round about way

Making it hers and the players her puppets

Leaving a chaotic path of games still to be played

When will she relax and live

Live for today and the beauty it brings

Claiming her ego is in check

Creative distortion applied to the group

Production enhancement not appreciated

Forget about the integrity of the piece

Her voice must be heard above all others without mistake

Open this closed mind for a moment

Find her thoughts coated with creative treason

She is the reason they fled

Amendments for descendents
Sexualized remnants lost long ago
Cravings of this flame
Please do not let go
Sexualized ad’s to sell fads

Would it be so fake to
Forsake what they make
Don’t get so mad
Just place this ad
Sexual mistake
Only to retake
Elation of our nation
Seduction with reduction
Of inflated destruction
Don’t hype for our sake
Only to placate
While hate they make

Industrialization for masturbation
Dildos by truck loads
For guns that we sold
Drugs to unload
Their souls these drugs hold
Hoping those dildos
By truckloads we sold
Won’t call attention to the detention
With no objection
Masturbating intention with restriction
Love Making
Was not mentioned

Retake our privacy
It isn’t piracy
To demand this is sacred
Honor and reason still is not treason

Striking the core of being

Causing questionable terror

Is it real or inflicted on self?

Questioning the confines of reasonable need

Are the walls closing in?

The clouds darken and a bolt strikes

Penetrating the chest slamming into the spine

Cold sweaty shivers

Now quaking and constraining all muscles

Coordination denied

Shudders of confusion

Losing the mind to uncontrollable tremors

The solid removed from this floor

Perspiration pops up and evaporates

Only to reappear too closely

Crushing tides upon this vast simmering sideways

Known to stab vertical slowness

Heart racing and pumping all doubt throughout

Hard work to root out this mysterious matter

To alleviate shuddering

Quakes of heart ache

Attack the Panic

A model of Christian Charity
John Winthrop wouldn’t care to see
The Republican version
Of his Puritan sermon
Misquoting our people
Above all the people
Unfair relations
With other nations

The Reverend Wright
Enraging the right
Charged with outrageous outbursts
In what WAS Barracks church
What was outrageous?
Being courageous?
Hope not contagious …..

Telling his congregation to respond
By redirecting themselves to God
Oh how very odd

Considering the Patriot call to question
What’s wrong with the election?
With the resurrection of the truth
“America’s chickens are coming home to roost” ????

I am a “card-carrying member of the ACLU”.  I volunteered for the Barrack Obama campaign during this Presidential campaign.  It was a wonderful experience, especially when he won.  I worked as a Poll Captain the day of the election.  It was exciting.  When my friends and family tease me about being a left-wing bleeding heart liberal I respond by thanking them.  How could anyone consider that to be an insult?  Why do conservatives feel compelled to try to insult us?  These questions intrigue me.

Setting up this website and submitting my writing to publications is a bold step for me.  I have written in a journal since I was nine years old.  We were cleaning out our bedroom closet recently and Greg packed some of my journals, along with various stories and poems I had written into a laundry basket.  He asked me to go through it and try to thin it out.  I have not parted with any of it.  I showed some of my poems to a friend at work.  She encouraged me to show it to another coworker due to the fact that he is a rap artist and producer.  I was nervous because he is so talented.  He asked to record one of the poems as a rap on his upcoming CD.  It was so hard for me to show my writing to anyone and to have something like this happen is startling.  After that boost in my confidence I attended a Freelance Writers Symposium at UMKC and was encouraged again to send in what I had written to a publisher.   I am literally out of the closet with my writing now.

The passage of Proposition Eight in California has ignited a debate concerning the separation of church and state. God was marketed as the judge of whether the California state constitution can ignore love. This is a violation of Civil Rights which concerns all of us as Americans. My proposal is that those of us who value our rights call attention to the absurdity of Proposition Eight by introducing legislation into our state constitutions that is just as absurd.

Information that was widely distributed such as: Proposition Eight protects our children from being taught in public schools that same-sex marriage is the same as traditional marriage. In health education classes, state law requires teachers to instruct children as young as kindergartners about marriage. The opposition stated: Not one word in Proposition Eight mentions education. No child can be forced, against the will of their parents, to be taught anything about health and family issues at school. California law prohibits it.

As a married woman, with no close ties to the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Trans gender (LGBT) community, I must speak out for the right of all people to marry the one they love. This is a civil rights issue related to the separation of church and state. A California State Supreme Court decision regarding marriage says “no religion will be required to change its religious policies or practices with regard to same-sex couples, and no religious official will be required to solemnize a marriage in contravention of his or her religious beliefs.” If there was a proposed law requiring all religious officials to solemnize a LGBT marriage, I would be just as outraged. That would be a civil rights issue.

Twenty-four states have the initiative process. As a citizen of one of these states I have the right to introduce a constitutional amendment. I have been wondering what absurd laws we could pass here in Missouri. I would suggest the MO Marriage Proposition. It would define marriage as a Holy Sacrament between a man and a woman. The couple shall be no more than 6 inches apart in height. Both must be fertile, never to use any form of birth control, as sex shall be only for procreation. They must belong to the same religious faith, have the same eye color and be of the same race. Any married couple that does not fit this definition will have their marriage annulled immediately upon passage of the MO Marriage Proposition. Any child that has been born into such a union will be deemed a Bastard and referred to as such until the day they die. Anyone who does not agree with the MO Marriage definition will be considered a blasphemous piece of garbage and be forever spat upon and banned from all holidays, sporting events and hunting licenses in the great state of Missouri.

The MO Marriage Proposition literature would clearly outline the danger the failure of this Proposition would present to our children. Too much religion causes confusion. Having one child with blue eyes and one with brown could cause sibling rivalry for the attention of the parent with their shared eye color. Having more than 6 inches difference in height could cause neck strain when kissing, leading to tension thus causing the parents to verbally assault their children. All of these factors could lead to a youth that is prone to become a member of a terrorist sect. It would be summed up with: ‘Vote yes for the MO Marriage Proposition to prevent Missouri’s youth from becoming terrorists’ or ‘Prevent terrorism by voting yes for the Mo Marriage Proposition.’

We must build a wall of separation high enough to keep terrorists out. Through the introduction of such initiatives as the MO Marriage Proposition, we will call attention to the elimination of church and state. Many Americans feel that this is a silly principle that our Founders must have come up with while they were drinking whiskey and smoking the peace pipe with their Native American buddies. The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence is a bunch of hogwash that some long haired revolutionary hippies came up with. Those who favor eliminating same sex marriage from any realm of possibility seem to feel the only thing the Founders came up with that made a lick of sense was our right to bear arms. As long as I have life left in my body they will not take my guns! Hey, we could fire our guns in the air at all Holy Sacraments of Marriage between heterosexual couples all across this great land!

If you disagree with the kind of literature distribution advocated for this example please consider what kind of legislation you want in your state. There could be a law someday requiring a married couple to be of the same religious faith. If such a law passed we would no longer be a secular society. For this reason I added the most ludicrous requirements possible as an example, fearing that someone would make this an initiative in Missouri. 70% of initiatives that make the ballot pass. Introducing initiatives may be allowing our secular society to continue and flourish or perish. In most states you would contact the Secretary of State’s office for information on the process to change the laws in regard to marriage. It would also include requirements for literature used in campaigning such as, if you print that law requires the state to teach your children about marriage in school; how to change a flat tire or how to balance a check book, it has to be true. If we can have laws concerning truth in advertising wouldn’t it be fair to uphold laws concerning truth in canvassing for causes regardless of what group or religion is backing it? It is our choice whether we introduce initiatives that are hate based or ones based on love.
