Israel Beckoned...In A Dream
This secular skeptic beheld,
eyes hallucinated, harried, felled
and haunted by
holographic images gelled
that didst silently scream herald
ding exhaustively
roaming, schlepping, meld
ding and trudging across
elapsed, nor quelled
blinkered, bloodied dead souls
across fractured wartorn veld,
where bludgeoned ghastly
eons of pain did weld
throbbing inside my
scepter templed mount, aye
vicariously experienced
cumulative historical grief
past to present anti
semitism I decry
incomprehensible genocide, (though
not necessarily exclusive domain
of Moses troopers), nonetheless I
find mine existence
ably linkedin sigh
lent lee to the
bosom of Abraham,
no matter such
quasi confession doth fly
in the face, despite devout atheism,
a genealogical kinship inherently
peppers the genetic
mind of this
questioning (authority type) guy,
whose lack of
religion cannot dispel
no matter fuzzy, gauzy,
hazy, et cetera,
asper the existence
of heaven or hell,
and no idea what
will become of
Matthew Scott Harris, when bell
doth toll mine death knell
though methinks, i.e. this fell
low will merely decompose
forever oblivious to
global pell mell,
whose corporeal essence will spell
reincarnation relegating molecular
composition of this aging
ordinary physical being
whose existence particularly,
poignantly, and plaintively
punctuated with delicately
framed psychological housing
twilight years echoing
punitive hardship just barely shaking
free, whence adolescent
aborted suicidal effort
near cleft flickr ring,
anorexia almost got life
extinguished, gut wrenching
yank key undergo wing
life and death struggle rattling
the long gone souls
figurative rusted empty cages,
whose legacy aching Diaspora, ages
ago scattered tribes, especially sages
Exodus to Babylonian Captivity,
(c. 12th to 6th centuries BC),
proud unknown forebears rages
against contemporary
Hebrews existential wages
of experienced unfair recent gauges
(recording heinous twentieth century)
opprobrious persecution quashing
valuable vital and voluminous
absent contribution Jews
never written pages
forever hidebound historical legacy
unfairly demonized ever since pre
Biblical epoch anonymous stages.
Lifeblood of democracy hemorrhaging
ousting the "FAKE" president only recourse
to staunch impending grim demise,
since forefathers drafted
United States Constitution
ratified more'n two centuries ago
hoi polloi must take to the streets
denouncing severe curtailment
impinging sacred freedom of speech
linkedin with paramount bedrock provision
accessing unvarnished flint stoned "truth,"
nonetheless commander in chief
he quakingly, staunchly, vociferously...
excoriates, lacerates, repudiates...
one damning hermetically sealed,
iniquitous airtight, vacuum packed
flagrant misuse of power,
(not to mention nepotism)
invidious, insidious, injurious... infractions
incontestable, incontrovertible, contemptible...
significant melange in führer
re: hating deplorably
crooked basely barren
factual exposé after another,
deft correspondents all not quiet
along western front
(I heard Maria - mull remark)
bring "to light" execrable,
lamentable reprehensible...
gross transgressions
commander in chief
significantly overstepped
Pulitzer prize winning
prestigious storied publications
scathingly trounced, pillaried,
lambasted, insulted, denounced,
butchered, critiqued, demonized,
fricassed, gored, humiliated,...
pummeled, quartered, reviled
courageously expounding fiend
ensconced within his Taj Mahal
impregnable donjon, whereat he trumpets
laurels asper, nonpareil administration
laying groundless accusations
baring his white fangs,
twittering, naysaying, mocking.. supreme
renown gifted by "honest Abe"
recalcitrant commander in chief,
who refutes objectionable
dogged investigative journalism
every step of the way,
where dedicated news gatherers
risk life and limb
firing line reportage troopers
ferreting (foxlike) he/she
doth gopher precious nuggets
uncover alarming undisputable details
impossible to refute raw bits
agent provocateur freely colluding
immediately hashtashed poppycock
smarmy, snooty, snappy
beastly capital one ogre
blatantly castigating diligent endeavors
oblivious pie in sky
delusional egotistic haughtiness
bobblehead vilified by silent majority.
Among the hearing participants, some stayed put, some cast curious eyes outside with craned necks, some stood up and began to pace around or away, but nobody was seriously scared, nor were there any corporeal conflicts between the two sides, clearly showing a tacit sense that those forcible-feeble gofers dare not indulge themselves into any tangible transgressions in earnest, contrary to what they vaunted early amid Mutt Gaets' pep-talk.
Shortly after, Schiff got through to Pelosi and told her what happened to his closed door hearing.
Pelosi: Eh! Not bad! You've experienced long calm spells, isn't a rare storm an alternative relish?
Schiff feigned to worry badly: Uh, stop piling on our agony with your black humor. The mob's testing the Capitol Police in capability and promptness, testing hearing participants in patience and equanimity as well as ~~~~
Pelosi cut him short: Oh, Schiff, things are not so serious. Don't get daunted by the storm troopers in name only, for quite some may be press-ganged. Give them a diversion, the mob can be scattered soon.
Schiff: Uh~~~good. But what kind of diversion?
Pelosi: Be attentive. Don't neglect items of daily consumption, and certainly you'll hit it.
Schiff looked around, silent for seconds but soon Pelosi's voice rang to his ears:Why not treat them to some snacks? Say, cookie, pizza, shortbread~~~ Schiff:Pizza! Eureka! Most of these pitiable gofers run errands empty-bellied, and we have stored enough pizzas. Terrific tip! Thanks!
Schiff hang up and let a Capitol employee seek pizzas for that bunch of bozos. Soon the employee came out with a bin of pizzas either half-done or overdone, or either crusty or rusty. Schiff frowned on these unsightly pizzas: Lordy! All look like molding from stool hoopers, and smell a bit stale at that. Just these left?
The employee nodded helplessly: Yeah! Right.
Schiff: Oh, how came?
Employee:Not clear. Maybe the bakers on morning shift happened to be rookies.
Schiff: Uh~~well, the situation is too pressing to allow us to be considerate. Hand them out.

I became familiar with intriguing chow in the army mess,
Tho' I savored their chipped beef and gravy I must confess!
But some of their culinary efforts left in my mind some doubt,
That my wily recruiter didn't know what he was talking about!
Invariably for lunch and supper much to my dismay,
They plopped a dollop of fruit cocktail upon my battered tray.
The sergeant grinned as he slopped some on my mashed pertaters.
Have you ever eaten fruit coctail mixed with stewed termaters!
The army must've had a surplus of orange marmalade,
And the meatballs would've made a formidable hand grenade!
One never asked about the ingredients in the vegetable stew.
On rare occasions steak was served, but it was tough to chew!
Troopers sat around a picnic table affair and elbows really flew!
Such atrocious language! At Mother's table that would never do!
Signs read, "Take all you want but eat what you took!"
Food dumped in the garbage can could easily upset the cook!
For Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners they put on a spread.
Those I savored but anticipated future meals with dread!
But in todays army "dining rooms", silver and chinaware prevails.
Why! I've heard they serve cordon bleu and even lobster tails!

This poem pretty accurately describes "mess hall" conditions when
I first entered the Air Force in 1948. As years progressed, things
really improved for the better. They are called "dining facilities" today
and to dine in one is a special treat which I have done several times
since my retirement from the Air Force. It is true "dining" and lobster
tail, cordon bleu, steamboat round and such delicacies are de rigueur! If those foods are
not your thing, there is a soup and salad bar, pasta bar, ice cream bar, hamburger bar
and on and on. The decor compares to any fine restaurant. But I don't
begrudge our men and women in uniform one bit - they deserve the best!!
Close on three hundred fifty years ago
American independence
not foregone conclusion,
British soldiers in league with Hessians
witnessed successful campaign battles
admirably groomed unbridled
staunch defenders, viz King of England
fought pitched battles
within keystone state i.e. Pennsylvania
particularly tri county area
Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester
routed Continental Army,
within thick wooded forested lands
interspersed amidst open fields
during closing twelve month period
(seventeen seventy seven)
following drafting
Declaration of Independence
bloody campaigns challenged
general George Washington
eminent Virginia homeboy
(born February 22, 1732
Westmoreland County),
he throve spectacularly,
when his metal (albeit military)
severely contested throughout
successful battles and/or defeats
acquiring near legendary
(rock star status)
even among sympathizers
for English rule
some ordinary everyday
quotidian country folk
inclined to side with the enemy,
unlike unfettered, unquestioned,
untrammeled...patriotism
trumpeted today (yeah right),
approximately (my benchmark)
twelve generations removed
(hypothetically asserting
twenty five orbitz
around sun equals cohorts
during Colonial America era),
said lauded first founding father
possessed inherent instinct
to rouse enthusiasm
ragtag army initially displayed
attendant with birth pangs
oven inchoate nation, whose
patriotism starkly divided
and easily bled
toward royal dominion
many occasions turning rogue
surrendering secret information
renegade subsequently
fought alongside Redcoats
thus, twas a fluke of circumstances
outstanding English brigades
topped off with
dollop of allied troopers
experienced starved resources
literally costing motherland
arm and leg
to sustain outnumbered,
less skilled colonial rebels.
fter nine episodes
Our new generation must know
The whole thing started
With President Carter
Who was in the Commander's chair
And the computer dreamers were setting off Internet flairs.
Billed as a trip back to the matinee cinema of decades ago
It was a marathon sci fi adventure picture show
Star Wars it was called
And the movie industry was in awe
Starting off in the middle
This space air force tale was all the twitter
Starring one who made a mark with the name Hamill
During a time when Dorothy was not in Oz but doing a camel
Then there was Eddie's little girl
Who was cute as a pearl
Add a hunk named Han solo
This fantasy project was a Go Go
Light years past with everyone taking other gigs
But when duty called the troupe made the franchise their digs
With the final one released
And the storm troopers are now resting in peace
Taking over the Jedi force
Is Daisy Ridley who just graduated from the light saber course
Carrying only one-word name right
Rey dug in her heels with all her might
As she fought a fight that was her descendants’ plight
But this seemed to be all a dream with all the work in front of a green screen
Geared to an amusement park ride
The latest Star Wars entry tried
It was nice the characters brought everything home
in a saga where everyone found a friend when they are alone
After nine episodes the credits have run
Saying goodbye since the good guys won
Skywalker, R2D2, C3PO, Chewy
Your mission is complete
And Vader no longer has heat
Han and Lea what can we saya
Besides we hope Lucas now can a paya
Now with everything in the can
And you have created all these costumed hams
May the force be with you
and many thanks making all this look cool.
Case in point comprises emotional state of euphoria
would deafeningly, definitely, deliciously get
frenziedly expelled from stadium. Roe ting for
“our boys” packing every last seat in the bleachers
all manner of humankind would (during lulls)
Instagram, Kindle, Messenger, Outlook, Quicken,
Snapchat, Twitter. Santander, Verizon,Wells Fargo
might be sponsors for major competitive challenge.
Zero tolerance imposes winning at all costs versus
grievous miserable rapacious violent yawping
linkedin loss outcome of sporting events. Under
stand able home team owns an advantage (true
for rival players on their turf) predicated on avid
loyal fans boosting morale from family members,
friends, neighbors, et cetera. The ear splitting
roaring cheering hoopla emanating from spectators
(housed in relatively close proximity to handsomely
paid putting Pontius Pilate and bad ass Brutus brutes
rolled into one mean human fighting machine.
This previous comment meant as an honorable
kickstarter, hyperbolic endearment. My humblest apology
if said statement misinterpreted as a NON off fence sieve
strong moderate slight against any creed, race, religion,
et cetera. I merely sought an analogously effective
impact asper these hypothetical Popeye muscle
bulging arms length professional athletes plush residences
lodged in general metropolitan area to rubber baby
buggy bumper screaming banshee spectators. A
winning score affiliated with bruising, cutthroat,
dynamo...fierce-some giant, heaving, indomitably
jinxed, “killer” macho no nonsense, outlandish packed
quintessentially robust searing troopers translates
into utter screaming, quaking outrageous merciless
krazy individuals generating ecstatic cacophony
Schiff picked up the phone receiver again:Pelosi, your idea's great! The pizzas paid off! The gofers all rolled back! And their hauptman Mutt Gaets vanished, purportedly calling for a press conference.
Pelosi: Uh, pizzas paid off? and pizzas packed off those pitiable party poopers?
Schiff: Ah! Yeah!~~~
Several minutes later, hearing out Schiff, well in relief, Pelosi responded: Sure enough, to a tee pizzas as rusty as stool hoopers suit rusty storm troopers. By the way, none of these guys intended importunate stay?
Schiff: A few die-hard (accurately no more than 3-4) did intend to hold their positions at first, but the successive departure of the vast majority and the hauptman's long disheartening absence dampened, depleted and finally ruined their effort to hunker down. Too long overstay will avail them nothing except mounting embarrassment.
Pelosi:Mutt Gaets, a bluffer who wanted to bluff out a blockbuster only to bluff bonanzas of bloopers out of himself and his spear-carriers. A limerick for these poopers:
Storm trooper in name, in action party poopers;
Pizzas like poops, the perfect pooper-scoopers.
Enjoying stuffs stale and stiff,
who cares watchdogs' snap and sniff?
Blockbuster busted, bucking up all its bloopers.
Schiff: AH Haha haha~~~~~~~
Pelosi:And now you can resume your hearing process, eh?
Schiff:Ah, yeah! We'd soon come back to business. Thank you, Pelosi! Pelosi:Ok! Good luck with your proceeding, also, safe and sound for all the hearing participants. Goodbye, Schiff!
Schiff: Bye-bye!
Deep into midafternoon, inside and all around the SCIF, calm and order restored. Schiff and his colleagues set to resume the deposition with Laura Cooper after a security check, though about five hours behind schedule.
Form:
Oct. 23, around nine o'clock, GOP's special action commanding office: Dozens of "rock-ribbed" Reps arrived on and off to attend a briefing held by their hauptman Mutt Gaets, a Florida Trumpery henchman who's revived and led the sturmabteilung. Gaets gave meagre informations and instructions about the imminent action, while spent excessive length and strength on his pep-talk:~~~~~the Dems are planning the deepest, the dirtiest yet the dumbest subversive travesty against unser fuhrer~~~~~~
Hails rising up from the crowd: Vive unser fuhrer!~~~
Gates went on: As the legendary cross-century storm troopers, we've always been possessed with a solemn sense of mission. Here's the timeless zeitgeist trinity of storm troopers: unswerving loyalty to fuhre, indomitable perseverence for party's pursuits, unsurpassable strength of iron fist . We're determined to carry forward such zeitgeist throughout the fulfillment of all our glorious goals as it has firmly been our unfailing tenet. Presently, what we're about to do is to detroy their plot in a blitz. However, unlike the old generations who only fought on the street, we directly strike home------raid their headquarter, ransack their SCIF and ride our roughshods over their rotten bodies!
Hails roaring over the crowd: Hurrah! Hurray!~~~ storm their~~~slit'em~~~ slay'em~~~slay their ~~~
Gaets:~~~~~~
The crowd~~~~~
Gaets:SLOGAN for this action:
We are the fuhrer's new century storm trooper,
before us anyone except him must stand a stooper.
Storm the Dems in a jiff,
sink the SCIF, then skin Schiff,
sling back tightly locked and cooped Laura Cooper.
The crowd:Storm the Dems in a jiff, sink SCIF, skin Schiff~~~~~~
Gates:~~~~~~
The crowd~~~~~~
Gates: Ready? Ok! Let's go!

The Great Big Yellow “M”
If all you want is a democratic certainty
to be as free as free in the USA
the coca cola fee of luxury
softly storms the country
with the troopers and the burgers
of cardboard mediocrity
side salads on the plates of the hungry
When your market place empties
the iron edifice of your culture turning red
the rusty teeth of poverty
will be sweetened with garnish and ketchup stripes
there’s nothing on the shoplifting shelf
except the great big yellow “M”
And it comes in plastic
it comes with a job
a fast food global substitute
wrapped in liberation and freedom of choice
it’ll make you wish you had a voice
to sing the praises of
the great big yellow “M”
When the supply of the starving
finally demands something to eat
shinning tanks move chrome adverts up the famished street
the anthem of the people waiting
will teach consuming in perfect harmony
crooning to a western song of wealthy
“and I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony”
This is the price of the wages of their sin
a tactless bit of bread with a burger in
to replace political defiance a great big yellow “M”
in the struggle for conformity
the free are bound to win
there’s no one left to warn them of the great big yellow “M”
From Russia to the Far East
through Europe and the forgotten West
Antarctica and the Middle East China and Japan
on every island off a coast
in Asia and Australasia Africa and Arabia
in the ears of the fed and starving
the sound of global munching
on the great big yellow “M”
( Two cannibal tribes both sit down to lunch gobble gobble glut glut munch munch munch……………..)
