The suffering will not be reported tonight
he who has the gold- rules
to keep power unto themselves
This garbage dump
we call society
in mindful chaos
Upon the silvered screen
the multitudes- unwashed and ravenous
storm the gated community of Zardoz
Those who will bring back the primordial
invoking the ancient, ritualistic blood culture
to overwhelm “civilization”
Franz wrote about “The Wretched...”
of those whose lives are unremembered
in the written narrow alleyways we call history books
Ticktock tick tock
on some cosmological scale
our hubris is but a mote unnoticed
Death by our own hands
shiny stainless steel and composite fiber weapons
with crudely written messages- “Hi, mom” & “Lover boyz”
In glory, ah glory, ah to leave no progeny
leaving all on the battle field
in honor, to honor who on the death field?
Only human which we are and nothing more
but the chance of protein imperfectly copying some other life form
random, mutation and finally reaching a premature ending
Sinking into the soil
covered by clover and poppy
the sin of human living finally expunged
Nothing will remain
except the insects that preceded us
their hive mind far superior to the hubris addicted bipedal hairless simians
Our monuments of steel and titanium will rust
but our mental contraptions
will last
Death by disease
the invisible killers that will be in partnership with the arachnids
but will outlast the chitin warriors because they are the building blocks for life redux

Obama's home stretch
From MoveOn.org:
TOP 5 REASONS OBAMA SUPPORTERS SHOULDN'T REST EASY
1. The polls may be wrong. This is an unprecedented election. No one knows how racism may affect what voters tell pollsters—or what they do in the voting booth. And the polls are narrowing anyway. In the last few days, John McCain has gained ground in most national polls, as his campaign has gone even more negative.
2. Dirty tricks. Republicans are already illegally purging voters from the rolls in some states. They're whipping up hysteria over ACORN to justify more challenges to new voters. Misleading flyers about the voting process have started appearing in black neighborhoods. And of course, many counties still use unsecure voting machines.
3. October surprise. In politics, 15 days is a long time. The next McCain smear could dominate the news for a week. There could be a crisis with Iran, or Bin Laden could release another tape, or worse.
4. Those who forget history... In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote after trailing by seven points in the final days of the race. In 1980, Reagan was eight points down in the polls in late October and came back to win. Races can shift—fast!
5. Landslide. Even with Barack Obama in the White House, passing universal health care and a new clean-energy policy is going to be hard. Insurance, drug and oil companies will fight us every step of the way. We need the kind of landslide that will give Barack a huge mandate.

A Call to Scorch this Land
Torquemada
written in the blood of the impure
remembered by those savants and survivors
echoes in the history of western so-called civilization
like the weeds that surreptitiously grow in the well tended garden
the wheels of war are but the means
“kill the leaders and convert the rest”
as he knows that the brutal iron fist
is remembered longer than the delicate kiss
His feral manner was revealed
as the clanking chains tightened
screams reverberated up the spiral stairs but never beyond the iron bound doors
blood begins to seep out of the pores
until the appendages are separated from the torso
the cudgels that propel the perpetrators
down the chutes into the razor wired cells
are beginning instruments to rewire their brains
as he has watched all the recordings in total silence
while his hands are playing pocket pool over and over
Torquemada held secrets
he could hide from his god anointed superiors of king and queen
even from the messenger from his god- the holy see
the pooling of blood and excrement upon innumerable hidden chamber floors
couldn't cleanse his stain of being birthed by the descendants of Christ killers
sitting on concrete and to smell the freedom of the sea breeze
no privacy as the cameras watch without stopping
to survive in an 8' by 10' cell
interrogations go on and on
no matter the time of day
sickness or in health
to be married to the interrogators on this level of purgatory
His beliefs were powered by god
as the white hot coals were driven into their flesh
both bowels and bladder were released
the stench imbued the mute stone walls
while the words of renunciation were disbelieved
he turns to go
closing the door
he must go to the gym
to work out again
to feel good again
to wash away the reality
of what his commandments have wrought
Torquemada has heard no confession from the deceased
with a wave of his manicured fingers
the body will be fried until only ashes remain
the soul
was not worth saving will now walk upon an earthly limbo
