Weather-beaten face and western sun's...

Premium Member Greenearth Patriots
All organic parties
committed to EarthTribe
as My HomeTeam
could become EarthPatriots
experiencing every day EarthDay;
which, of course 
we are revolving through
together,
more resiliently 
than ecopolitically polarizing
AnthroSupremacist Apartheid.

Speaking from our felt-within
multipartisan democratic
cooperative co-governing experience
in life's healthier
and safer feeling
thinking
green outdoor communication...

Shame


When word had spread of His arrest, I left
Bethesda, passed five porticoes and came
Eventually upon the Roman fortress;
My curiosity overriding shame. 

Six trials they say He underwent, stood still
With arms behind Him bound, yet He...

For It Is A Human Number


   In the dark corners of their minds,
lies hidden secrets and falsetto, falsety 
and masquerade blind.
Humming to transcendental humanistic deities.
Beating you down to the beat 
of their own drum of a 4th kind.

to overcome the oppressors
The yoke of oppression

The set of the system..

where i have to struggle
against great odds to be
accorded opportunity

Tyson the Cat
Tyson the Cat.

There was a cat, some years ago,
who liked to stand his ground.
Terriers, poodles, mongrels,
He'd fight that type of hound.

barking fit to bust,
he'd just turn to face...

Certain men have risen to claim dominance over society,
Their actions attest to barren depths of indifference,
