These are the poems I wrote for one week starting on 9/11/2001 since that time it seems we have gone much further down what I consider to be a very dangerous path. Now that the smoke has settled a bit consider where our nation is headed. Please take a moment out to pray for peace. God Bless America Pray for Peace I feel like a cat arched back hair standing on end Watching the smoke spill into the streets Here in Sacramento it's a gray cold morning The familiar blazing sun is nowhere to be found The calls for war have already begun I don't care if I am the only one I will continue to pray for peace Please let the death and destruction cease We have no need for escalating cycles of retaliation Reducing all nations to rubble Please god burst this bubble Let us look into our hearts and find the infinite source of love Before we act we need to look into the eyes of our children Things are not always what they seem Lets build the world of our dreams There is no such thing as limited nuclear war B.Nice™ ©9/11/2001 Fools Rush In Beware of slick packages All wrapped up with bright bows In a land where it's impossible to determine the truth Only fools ignore the ones with the most to gain Remember the Maine http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/smithsonian/issues98/feb98/maine.html B.Nice™ ©9/11/2001 911 The deed is done GW has already requested a blank check from the congress It would be political suicide for anyone to disagree Racist stories of mean glaring rude Arabs proliferate in the media A truck full of explosives found last night under the George Washington Bridge resulting in the arrest of two individuals vanishes from the media in a puff of smoke Once again an ex CIA asset is in line to be the fall guy It's starting to get like watching reruns of Gilligan's Island as the plot conforms to a strict rigid formula I fear that this is just the beginning of an orgy of destruction If there ever was a time for a true patriot to come forward and deliver our nation from evil now is the time Indisputable documentary proof is the only way to stop this now This snowball is rolling down the hill completely out of control I wonder who will be left to count the dead B.Nice™ ©9/12/2001 Hold Your Pieces Why did all of the planes detour over mountainous virtually uninhabited areas instead of proceeding strait to their targets it seems inconceivable that they were just joyriding Why has there been no consideration that some of the terrorists might have left the aircraft while they were in these remote areas Considering that these planes are totally capable of automated flight I am sure I can't be the only one that has considered that it must be possible to create a computer interface that could fly these planes like unmanned drones with radio or cell-phone control What is the history on this international flight school in Florida I'll bet dollar's to donuts that an investigation of the list of graduates would be quite revealing If we really have a free press where the fuck are they If you take a minute to look into your heart you will know what is a stake here Speak now or forever hold your pieces B.Nice™ ©9/14/2001 Trust (Oil Can) I was stopped by a Sheriff today I got a ticket for letting my registration lapse I asked him what he thought about the war looming on the horizon He said he we should hit them back twenty times harder than they hit us I replied that it was like catching someone committing a crime and blowing up their neighborhood I could tell from his reaction that he could feel what I was saying When I was a kid I went fishing with my friends one summers day. While we were walking down steep banks of the creek that led to a small pond we came upon some big bad teenagers that were drinking beer in the woods. One kid who I considered a total JD started pestering us to drink some beer so that they could be sure that we wouldn't rat on them. I was steadfast in my refusal ignoring all of their requests until they let it be know that if we all didn't drink some we were going to get an ass kicking. At the request of my friends after they all drank some I reluctantly took a sip. As soon as the can touched my lips one of the bullies started laughing and blurted out that he pissed in it. I wonder who the scarecrow was really afraid of when he was hiding out. I know that there is a reader out their who has it in his power to stop this madness Don't wait too long you have many more friends than you know You know you are better than this B.Nice™ ©9/14/2001 Crying Time I just watched the scarecrow hold a pep rally Standing next to hardworking grim faced fireman A man whose whole body radiated the seriousness of the grisly task in which they were engaged GW hyped the crowd up using a bullhorn repeatedly pointing it directly in the ear of a real American hero As I was watching our smiling smirking president standing on the graves of our brothers and sisters whose lives have been snuffed out by this tragedy trying whip up a lynch mob All I could do was cry B.Nice™ ©9/14/2001 Now's The Time Pat Robinson and Jerry Fallwell prematurely bare their fascist fangs Blaming this destruction on the ACLU, Liberal Americans, Gays, Pagans and Feminists Sensing that they were about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory The scarecrow barks out the command to heal Pat and Jerry retract their statements saying that they were misunderstood An interesting story in the Rev. Moon's Washington Times says that the black boxes from the airliners were probably destroyed in the fire We are right on the razors edge There is still time to stop this I know that you are starting to get it now What are you going to do about it Charlie Parker played Now's the Time Flowing water has the power to dissolve solid stone Please stop this madness how many more will have to die B.Nice™ ©9/15/2001 Don't Tread On Me Drunken fanatical Islamic terrorists Afghan cave dwellers savvy enough to make a bundle of money selling short stocks in the companies that insure the world trade center Still no info from the black boxes Foreign terrorist that have American Military training Ashcroft is seeking unprecedented broad wiretap legislation that amounts to unlimited eavesdropping without warrants Right wing think tanks on CSPAN thoughtfully employing circular arguments reminiscent of the Salem witch trials Broad sweeping declarations of war without even a clearly designated enemy once the shooting starts nobody can say where it will end If you truly love America the most patriotic thing you can do is examine all the evidence and take the time to make sure before we spill one more drop of the precious blood of our sons and daughters B.Nice™ ©9/16/2001 The War Against Evil The scarecrow say's that this is a war to eradicate evil I guess when we win no parents will ever fight at any little league games Cancer will no longer prematurely end the lives of good people Nobody will ever wake up on a beautiful Sunday morning with a hangover We will be able to abolish the prison system because only good people will be left We will finally be rid of the scourge of rush hour traffic I will never have to hear elevator music versions of Beatles songs Nobody on the entire planet will ever go hungry We will be able to finally abolish all standing armies because there will be no evil left to fight All the industrialists who are making a killing on the undervalued market this week will be gone No more pollution Goodbye shopping channel The earth will finally move for every woman every time No more nagging Say goodbye to gossip Adios TV commercials I just can't figure out what we are going to do when all the politicians are gone B.Nice™ ©9/17/2001 Rag Time It's interesting how the day the stock market was falling precipitously the watchful eyes of the corporate media all focused on the markets Fanning the flames as the investments of middle America went up in smoke Today as the corporate fatcats scoop up all the undervalued stocks at fractions of pennies on the dollar all the cameras are off The ghost of Jessie James is riding down wall street today I keep my money in my pockets It was getting too stinky in my socks "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose" Kenny Rogers B.Nice™ © 9/18/2001 Jack's Shiny New Boots Ashcroft is talking about arresting people who may pose a threat to America They are revising the time that aliens can be held without charges from twenty four hours to as long as they deem necessary The Nimda Admin palindrome virus is probably a hoax designed to mask the increased internet delays caused by the carnivore Why is it suddenly necessary to make it legal to use secret evidence in trials and how could any innocent person defend themselves against secret evidence Is the sharp suspension of civil liberties designed to flush out Americans who believe in freedom so that they can be branded terrorists My grandfathers fought a real war to defeat Fascism Will America wake up before they start to lock up political prisoners in sports stadiums and death squads are roaming the streets B.Nice™ ©9/18/2001
