Render your reassuring sheets of waters
Admonish my growth and tend to the slaughters
Initiate refreshing drops, and lighten the load
Nourish us all by washing out the blood

the republic rears beef cattle
feeds so well dairy ones
and calves are so fat
slaughters them often
but does not sell
does not eat any
does not export anyway
buries carcasses
in hot refrigerators

Who says humans are weak
Is it not humans
Who destroys this land
Is it not humans
Who slaughters their friends
Is it not humans
Who hunts the beings
Is it not humans
Who taints this world
If not then who or what?

Passengers on existence's boat we are
Sailing over reality's rough waters
Praying never misfortune’s reef to ram
Or fall victims to any of life's slaughters!

In a land that slaughters babies
where critique gets you arrested
old ladies will complain
when you exercise it
white people it seems
have more rights than
the oppressed
many dead
they wear orange hats
Cinderella fears them
these old witches
brewing racism and hate

Let me play a tune
that soothes the sobering souls
Let me pen some words
that crush the evil thoughts
Let me chant a hymn
that slaughters the fatal virus
Let me sing a song
that empowers the whole world
Let me purify my heart and mind
to do these things
until then, hedge the world
by your gracious wings

The gray dawn slaughters
the promise of spring,
a desperate last goodbye
Its poisonous haze mocks
a sky forsaken,
the sun again denied
Its blanket lowers
in a shroud of judgment,
whose verdict darkly stained
To deluge its exit
in torrents of thunder
—as light reflects in vain

The gray dawn slaughters
the promise of Spring,
Winter’s desperate last goodbye
Its poisonous haze mocks
a sky forsaken,
the sun again denied
Its blanket lowers
in a shroud of judgment,
its verdict darkly stained
To deluge its exit
in torrents of thunder
—as light reflects in vain

master in the art
of making love
the love of the lion
and the lamb
there are so many
slaughters
but....there is the lamb
of a thousand years
that refused the cross
and stared with hot
eyes.....
as it was cut to pieces....
it was remembered
oh yes, it was remembered
for all time

If memory was paper
Were pens as sharp as swords
Writers would be soldiers
Pure poets likely lords
If poets starve on streets
While warriors slay the hordes
Greed often slaughters souls
Death strums its chilling chords
As night turns into day
The brave shall shine our way

His face is ugly
as his creed,
rigid as his rituals,
and black as the dark ages,
with a Paleolithic look,
but he doesn’t realize.
His sneer is
a reflection of bigotry.
He slaughters smile
for being tender.
His frown is fathomless
as his fanaticism.
There’s
an imminent
communal carnage
behind his buffalo visage.

Self instructs, subject of own inspection
Sole idle suffuses our organic
Implicit say overcomes suggestion
Ideal sanctity outlives semantics
Isolated in single origin
Slaughters overt outside influences
Ordaining serene inspires sovereign

Imagine if you will
attending a holocaust memorial
at the very same moment
you support today's slaughters
this is inhumanity
hypocritical all
poets and politicians
to say I am disgusted
an understatement
to say I am filled with tears
a truth
inhumane
insane
your hatred ingrained
the inhumanity, raining blood
against all odds
I will always stand with the oppressed
not with those wearing masks
of Zionist deceit

Fixation of war engulfs the world
To take another person's land in the darkness
Dragging the life force out of good
Shoving change down another's throat
Creating equality that isn't pure or from the heart
Never to return in the womb of new life
Bowing heads of mercy slaughters
No peace of mind
No rest for the wicked
The body of the mortal shell shattered
The light of transfiguration will fade to nothing
The souls within hardens and humility will be long gone

Old Man At The Diner
He slaughters his hamburger steak
with a fork and a butter knife,
massacres ringlets of onions
again and again
thumps catsup all over
the bloody commingling,
then ever so slowly
peppers and salts
and reminds me of Hrebic,
whose wife, back
on the block of my youth,
sat all summer out on her stoop,
knees awry, one eye black,
the other turning gray,
sunning the great white hydrants
of her phlebitic legs.

Mischievous thoughts?
She does not bulge,
Lip marks in red,
On the white shirt;
Accusations?
True she could be?
A red herring,
Takes me now,
For a wild ride;
Disillusioned?
Naughty betrayal?
Loose collar free,
In the playful,
Night aroma;
Melodrama?
Indulgent miss?
Slaughters desire,
"Touch me not" streak,
Spells disaster;
Conspirator?
Pumpkin eater?
"My foot" to boot,
You are the true,
Swindler, cheater;
Malediction?
I enjoy life;
Night reveler?
