Poetry Friday

THE ARMY OF TRUTH

Words? Those sounds the world despises.       Words in poems? Even more to be disdained! Ah, how feeble are your powers       to defend all the truth that man denies!

Thunder crack and lightning flash       at its presence! Hosts of angels should come swooping down from heaven to the rescue       far and wide [...]

Poetry Friday

ON SNOW

A Riddle

From Heaven I fall, though from earth I begin. No lady alive can show such a skin. I’m bright as an angel, and light as a feather, But heavy and dark, when you squeeze me together. Though candor and truth in my aspect I bear, Yet many poor creatures I help [...]

Poetry Friday

RHAPSODY

No one says it anymore, my darling, not to the green leaves in March, not to the stars backing up each night, certainly not in the nest of rapture, who in the beginning was an owl, rustling just after silence, whose very presence drew a mob of birds–flickers, finches, chickadees, five cardinals to [...]

Video Poetry (Un-American Edition)

NOFX – FRANCO UN-AMERICAN

I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small Never thought about the problems of this planet at all Global warming, radioactive sites Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! no!

Why think of all the bad things when life is so good? Why help with an ‘am’ when there’s [...]

Video Poetry (Educated Edition)

RISE AGAINST – RE-EDUCATION (THROUGH LABOR)

To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away And the rhythm of the awful rusting machines We toss and turn but don’t sleep Each breath we take makes us thieves Like causes without rebels Just talk but promise nothing else

We crawl on our knees for you Under [...]

Poetry Friday (and it’s a doozy)

HEY ALLEN GINSBERG WHERE HAVE YOU GONE AND WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OF MY DRUGS?

A mouse went to see his mother. When his car broke down he bought a bike. When the bike wore out he bought skates. When the skates wore down he ran. He ran until his sneakers wore through. Then he [...]

Video Poetry (Hillary Clinton Edition)

ANTI-FLAG – TURNCOAT

TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF! Criminal with protection of the law!

Go!

State’s lies dressed up as evening news, We’re tired of lies we want the truth. Broadcast by corpses courting you, We’re tired of lies we want the truth. Most people they will never know, We’re tired of lies we want [...]

Poetry Friday

GOSPEL NOBLE TRUTHS

Born in this world        Sit you sit down You got to suffer        Breathe when you breathe Everything changes        Lie Down you lie down You got no soul        Walk where you walk

Try to be gay        Talk when you talk Ignorant happy        Cry when you cry You [...]

State of the Union

RISE AGAINST – STATE OF THE UNION

If we’re the flagship of peace and prosperity, We’re taking on water and about to fucking sink. No one seems to notice, no one even blinks. The crew all left the passengers to die under the sea.

Countdown to the very end. Equality; an invitation that we [...]

Faith

Faith

Oscar Wilde once said that skepticism is the beginning of faith.

My faith is in the skepticism of Oscar Wilde.

For when faith causes one to blindly follow another without question the skeptic becomes the mirror of truth.
