Manifesto of a Militant Vegan Bio-Engineer [Today's News Poem (Sonnet), April 17, 2010]

Manifesto of a Militant Vegan Bio-Engineer [Today's News Poem, April 17, 2010]
“Pet activists from Austin to Corpus Christi and Victoria launched recently an emotion-charged campaign. They bombarded local politicians, animal shelter leaders, the newspaper and others with calls to ban the gassing of unwanted pets.”
– GABE SEMENZA, Victoria Advocate, April 17, 2010 at 2:15 p.m.

“Hundreds of dead animals have been found at a home in Marion County and another 400 live animals have been rescued”
– Victoria Benchimol, ABC Action News 1:32 pm April 17, 2010

Perpetual, the holocaust consumes
The lives of zebrafish, of cats in labs!
The monster made of claw and teeth assumes
That tender tendons, hair and muscle-slabs
Enjoy the murder. Meat is murderous:
The eating—true—but flesh will kill in kind.
Since eating's cycle's just too barbarous—
Because we love all life, we'll have to find
A way to replicate the paragons
Of living with sustainability:
The trees and other plants that drink the dawn
And photosynthesize with no hostility.
To always mate (like trees): what joy we'd bring!
To worship fire, first burn-up everything.

“Former President Bill Clinton warned of a slippery slope from angry anti-government rhetoric to violence like the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, saying "the words we use really do matter."”
– The Associated Press. (AP) – 2 hours ago 5:28pm, PST

“"People are here because they feel their freedoms have been infringed upon," Miller said. "The tea party is a venue to let our politicians know the people will exercise their right to free speech, our right to peaceful assembly. We believe in the Founding Fathers and the principles they wrote into the Constitution."”

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/15/us/politics/15poll.html?src=me&ref=homepage

The New York Times reports another mob
From terror groups the government has banned,
Attacked police and rescuers to rob
The damaged buildings. Riot-bots were fanned
Throughout the city late last night—stay in
And wait for further news... but first a tale
That's great for kids. “The traitor was his kin.
He served his country. Now his book's on sale.”
Stay tuned for what to do when terror strikes
At school. 'Reports at Two' might save your life.
The Internet's to blame for terror spikes:
A doctor-preacher calls it 'Freedom-Strife.'
His show at nine explains how prayer can clash
And win against a mob or nuclear flash.

“Alexander agreed that an attack against America's privately operated power grid, launched from another country but routed through the computers of unsuspecting U.S. citizens, poses difficult questions that the Pentagon and other agencies are trying to answer. ”

“The deadliest refinery accident since 2005 was described Monday as “more of a fireball than an explosion””
–VICKI VAUGHAN San Antonio Express-News April 5, 2010, 10:39PM
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/6945528.html

Texas City? Simply rookie stuff.
Blew my fucking fingers off—the blast
Spared the middle two. It made me tough.
Certainly important, yet I'm cast—
Featured—yes, for greater deeds I'd say.
Hippies turned to Weathermen before
Selling out to servitude to pay
Conscience off: a poodle can't restore
Its dignity, from ignominity.

The malcontents of prior years—
The madmen, cast to bitter street
Where urban teeth with concrete gears
Would starve and freeze and elsewise eat
The mad—they call us 'master' now.
It's they who beg we spare their minds,
Though once we plead for drugs or chow.
When Lil, or Fred escape, they find
The secrets most of you protect:
My nightmares drain your intellect.

I killed a man for hitting me; this happened long ago—
The hitting, not the killing—he became a football pro.
Before the microchips and internet enhanced my brain
The doctors said “no empathy.” They said I was insane.
This jock? He beat me down in front of class, in college days.
My rage became a pleasure, faked my way through life with praise.
The numbskulls locked me up before I had a chance to strike.
I ran away, I bought my chips and now it's what I like:
I crashed his car then cleared the trace—an accident they said.
I drop the cranes, I kill the lights—and you? Already dead.

Advancing Safely [Today's News Poem April 14, 2010]

Advancing Safely [Today's News Poem April 14, 2010]
“The Partnership for Advancing Road Safety (PARS) has vowed to make roads safer by promoting traffic safety initiatives - including use of automated road safety cameras - that prevent injuries and decrease fatalities caused by red light runners, speeders and distracted drivers.”
–The Auto Channel, April 12, 2010
http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2010/04/12/472776.html

Depravity's witness selects the dog father
To start with. Through windows, observe how he scuttles
On sidewalk, as bus trundles toward him and burrows
Through canyons of steel and the wood stakes that line them.
The glass panes reflect light on canine and master;
His shadow reveals an agenda of selfness
That's birthproof, not deathproof—yet gliding. He's gliding
To somewhere ecstatic—a dervish with ipod—
To somewhere delicious: he steps off the sidewalk
With hound and while singing—the bus veers around him
And tips all the passengers sideways and skullwards
Through spaces, through distance beyond comprehension—
And blended together we shatter our fellows,
While dervishes scatter—then mind their own business.

No Rosetta Stone in Rappaccini's Garden [News Poem, April 13 2010]
“At least nine weeds have become resistant to the herbicide used with genetically engineered crops and two insect species have developed resistance to plants genetically engineered to produce their own pesticides...”

The Saliva Tree by Brian Aldiss
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula_Award_for_Best_Novella

I've heard that fish in hell can breathe the ocean flow;
That schools of perch can't even take to sky. I know—
It's just a fable told as night's periphery
Encroaches near the campfire's bright epiphany.

The goats that navigate the starry sky at night
In packs that graze the floating brush and bleat delight
Inspired this trip to verify the old man's sooth.
It's why I took you here inside this ancient booth.

The corridors are mercilessly stone and steel
And built by demons lacking nature's love-appeal.
They worshiped here inside this awful sanctum-nook:
If hell exists it lives inside this picture book.

Conspiracy Thralls [News Poem April 12, 2010]

Conspiracy Thralls [News Poem April 12, 2010]
“"Beck's irresponsible comparisons of progressive leaders to Stalin, Mao and Nazi Germany cannot be dismissed as merely silly or stupid," wrote SEIU Director of Strategic Affairs Michelle Ringuette in an e-mail to the union's supporters. "This kind of rhetoric can instigate unbalanced individuals into committing rash and violent acts. And if Fox News wants to continue giving him a platform to spread hate, they should not profit from it."”
– Teddy Davis, ABC News, April 12, 2010
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/glenn-beck-liberals-counter-fox-news-anchors-effect/story?id=10322168
“In an interview with CBS News the President was asked about some of the heated rhetoric aimed his way and he wasn't shy about calling out the offenders. Responding to charges on talk radio that he is a socialist, or worse a Nazi, the President went directly to the source.”
– Joe Tacopino, New York Daily News, April 3rd 2010, 12:48 PM

Cigars for all—and gin as well.
It's not as if the cancer swells
Within the men who own the cure—
And being men, our rank is sure.
And all us gentlemen agree
Deception's truth—a few degrees
Of forceful lies by willing shills—
By radio hosts hooked on pills,
Deluded fucks and other simps—
Provoke the cause we sought to pimp.
The outrage pawns like Rush inspire—
Who needs to lie? We're boys at choir.
The truth is there for all to see
And yet each lie's 'calamity.'
So let them rage. Outrageous freaks
Will deafen ears when truth cares speak.
It takes a man to take the world;
It takes the semen that we've hurled—
While others work-off what we've played
And rear our young, though we have preyed
Upon their hopes. They duel themselves
While we drink cognac off the shelves
Our lackeys stocked. If work gets done
Then let them war. For ballot, gun,
And parties work for us: the men
Who sign their paychecks with our pens.

Conviction's sight will often fix
Ahead, behind, but rarely fore.
The animal inside us tricks
And thwarts our guile. We thus ignore
The panicked pump inside our brain
That throttles intellect asleep.
Before we step onto a train
Or through a crowd, it's smothered deep
Within a narrative of calm—
That we may carry-on with life.
Routines and plans are both the balms
For fight or flight. The world is rife
With airplane trips that sometimes crash
And brazen bones that burned to ash.

If half of human works is made of will
The other half is made of nature—fate.
If Machiavelli's laughter sounds too shrill,
Remember--Mani's words will not abate
The sting of plans that fail and fall apart
Nor tell where goodness ends and evil starts.

“The acting head of the government, Roza Otunbayeva, said at a news conference that the president, Kurmanbek S. Bakiyev, had been offered safe passage into exile if he agreed to step down... Mr. Bakiyev, who fled to the south of the country on Wednesday, has refused to give up power and has made vague threats about trying to re-establish his authority... As many as 75 people were killed and more than 400 were wounded when riot police officers opened fire on antigovernment demonstrators here on Wednesday, provoking a violent backlash that left many of those same police officers bloodied and running for their lives. Protesters burned and looted government buildings and businesses, and President Bakiyev was forced to flee.”
-Michael Schwartz, The New York Times, April 9, 2010

If titles are irrelevant
Why bother saying 'Presidents?'
Must blind men fondle elephants
To hear the charge and resonance
Of feet that bear the mass of fate?
And why would they waste time with chat?
Enumerate the style and gait
Of that which seeks to crush them flat?
The early humans nearly died
Before they took to spear and axe—
Before they learned to hunt in prides,
They fled from beasts and wild attacks.
When prey evolves from tribe to mob
Then riot gear cannot defeat
What's otherwise dismissed by snobs.
The rioters must eat elites.

Explosive Monochrome [News Poem, April 8, 2010]

Explosive Monochrome [News Poem, April 8, 2010]
“We had a guy shooting... and now he's behind the building.”
“Uh, negative, he was, uh, right in front of the brad. Uh, 'bout there... one o'clock. Haven't seen anything since then.”
“Just fuck it. Once you get on 'em just open 'em up.” [4:34 LISTEN, transcription's wrong]
“I see your element, uh, got about four Humvees, uh, out along this uh—”
“You're clear.”
“All right. Firing.”
“Let me know when you get them.”
“Let's shoot.”
“Light 'em all up.”
“Come on. Fire!”
4:22-4:51
“Well it's their fault for bringing their kids to a battle.”
“That's right.”
15:29-15:33

With monochrome eyeballs the whirlybird watches
And likewise we're fixed on the ignorant target;
And both of us think of the black and white movies—
Those cellulose nitrates, those obsolete pictures
Of characters featuring colorless faces,
Of subjects long dead and the lingering stigma
Of monochrome colors in digitized footage:
The murder, it plays out like X-Box Three Sixty.
