Law Bows To Love JAYFLYING
Birds don't worry
about jaywalking..
or jayflying. May all
planes be respectful.
(to Freya Dinshah
.. quiet dynamo..
and her many decades
of vegan work.. with her
husband Jay .. and now
after his death.. continuing)
CRIMSON AND LIME
A little birdie
flew overhead
a traffic light
of green and red.
From her diagonal
point of view
she saw both crimson
and lime hue.
Obey traffic rules?
Birdies need not.
Masters listen only
to the inner voice of God.
(to Sue Brebner, Tom Regan,
and all the others who have
participated in civil disobedience
to rescue an ox from a ditch
on the Sabbath.. or re-establish
Indian independence...or civil
rights in the US or to save
trees in the Amazon)
RED TURNS GREEN
A traffic policewoman stands at
a red light.. waving
everyone through..
like visible grace
in the form of
an invisible guardian
angel.. turning
stop to go
CHIMNEY REPRIEVE
The chimney was given a reprieve
and told that he might occasionally
smoke.. but when he realized
that the leaves of plants
were harmed for him..
he immediately stopped
THOU SHALT NOT KILL
IS NOT ASTERISKED WITH
EXCEPTIONS
Thou Shalt Not Kill
Thou shalt not kill people.
Thou shalt not kill Iraqis.
Thou shalt not kill Afghanis.
Thou shalt not kill Palestinians
Thou shalt not kill Americans.
Thou shalt not kill Israelis.
Thou shalt not kill any human being.
Thou shalt not kill animals.
Thou shalt not kill birds.
Thou shalt not kill fishes
Thou shalt not kill reptiles
Thou shalt not kill insects.
Thou shalt not kill trees.
Thou shalt not kill any plants.
SILVER FORK
It is social etiquette
to use a certain silver fork
small and engraved
when
plunging into the
morning dove's tiny chest
and making ones stomach
a grave.
SNOWPRINTS GONE
As the sun melts
a trespassing bear's pawprints
near a beehive's
storehouse.. frozen
in the snowlace
so does forgiveness
the data
banks of the past erase
without a resenting trace
leaving one free
to write new love
UNRULY RIVER
Said the ruler
to the river
"You are an unruly
undisciplined river."
"You are incapable
of flowing in a straight
line."
Said God to the ruler
about the river:
"I have directed him
to flow in the deepest
places..he flows
1st right and then left
.. answering My slightest
whisper"
CAPTAIN BLIGH'S SHIP
piglets caged
.. waiting to be knifed
and eaten
men's backs
a pink mass
from the lash
some were hanged
some drowned
many got scurvy
many felt thirst
maggoty meat
all nonofficers
were dehumanized
and in other navy
ships some men
were cannon fodder
.. others pelted
with cannon balls
cannonized
but all departing
souls are canonized
Captain Bligh's
blight
still reigns
a navy hierarchy
rough on gays
yet with months
long sub confinement
creating many
others going
to port ladies
.. spreading
all kinds of
venereal disease
harpoons
as yet
unplowshared weapons
JUDICIAL ABUSERS
They took a trap
and on it put grease
and in Siberian winters
ermine tongues to it freeze.
Their little white fur
did some judges please.
And they wrote out
execution orders with ease.
(The UK is working to end ermine
collars.. those white furs with
black stripes.. it has with 108
nations already ended capital
punishment.. God end judicial
murder by secret or public
court.. God end the appointing
of Supreme Court and some
state court judges now)
FLASHING LIGHTS
Behind me
in the twilight
I saw flashing lights
.. oh oh
an officer of the law
I thought
but it was
the sun inbetween
clouds flashing
HELLO
CABOOSE WITH BRAKES
The Supreme Court has
been the caboose of
the engine of time..
a caboose with brakes..
but God does now
their violent
lawtablets break
BEYOND RITES
In a dream
God did write
a letter to
J & J Wright
and reveal their
eternal soulright
to go beyond
all ritual and rite.
(to J and J Wright)
BRITISH PEACE
As floating cotton fluffs
become stuck on tree twigs
so now do the plutocratic
wigs
of the powdered bigwigs
to the people's boughs bow
BLUE FLOWER FLAME
To see the divine
in everyone
is akin to
turning a pilot
light
into a multipetaled
blue flower flame
PRICE CAPS
The provide energy
assistance .... to heat their homes
.. they tax the middle
class to help a tiny
sliver of the poor
while plutocrats
add to their cache
twould be better
to put price caps
on the plutocrats
FLASHING LIGHTS
Behind me
in the twilight
I saw flashing lights
.. oh oh
an officer of the law
I thought
but it was
the sun inbetween
clouds flashing
HELLO
STANDING
There were some stands of
trees
after the lumber owned president
.. still standing
.. and Supreme Court Justice
Douglas wrote all
trees have legal standing.
PERFECT
As impossible
for erring in Helen
as for vines of melons
to grow as felons
OER GRANITE GRAY
Green grows
oer granite gray
as love conquers all
for none can
block her way
SUPREME COURT SCOTCHED WITH PENS
Physician Swango killed
with syringe
while Supreme Court 5 scotched
with pens.
Jack the Ripper
dispatched with knives
while Supreme Court 5 with
signature
ended lives.
Jackal .. he killed
with guns
while with their quills
do the Five kill.
But Ryan with his
plume
emptied the death
rooms
and Glendening
with ink of amber
did shut down
execution chambers.
TO LOVE WE BOW
Love has us healed
Love do we wield
Love's unified field
is love's everypoint shield
Love has us sealed
To Love do we yield.
* The Bhagavad Gita says 'abandon all varieties of dharma
and only surrender unto Me (GOD)' It is up to GOD alone
to decide whether stealing clothes from ones parents is
good or bad.
ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT
We have a new law
.. to murder some animals
is legal
... to murder eagles
is illegal
beyond rites

snowprints gone

unruly river
TOTALLY CORRUPT
Totally corrupt
is an unelected system of legality
which allows torture to animals
and the inflicting of lethality
GUILTY OF CONTEMPT OF COURT
Billions plead guilty to contempt of the Court
.. the US Supreme Court of unelected serial killers, nominated by unelected Diebold and ESS installed senators, plutocrat-bootlicking
scofflaw oligarchs and their peers in circuit, appellate
and state courts. These embodiments of the cold murder
of the state kill not with sword but with pen. They ratify
the thefts of people's homes by vivisecting businesses. They uphold the force of the butcher, the babybomber. the billionaire
**
(As God through time or illness has removed Rehnquist
and O'Connor, God will remove all in time from the bench.)
(The US, nominally a democracy, is virtually alone among nominal democracies
in appointing rather than electing its high court justices.. who are not yet among the over 108 nations which have
banned the barbarism of state murder.
(Sam Alito: broke his promise twice to recuse himself from
decisions involving Vanguard, a fund heavily invested in the blood of the slaughterhouse.)
(Antonin Scalia: a member of Opus Dei which in the name of the pacifist
Christ spreads violence around the world. Scalia's 2 sons
worked for the 2 attorneys representing minority Republicans
in the Gore V Bush case, yet Scalia did not recuse himself.)
(Clarence Thomas was an attorney for Monsanto before
being nominated by Jack Danforth, 1st of 2 Missouri Republican
senators to have a Senate seat created by the plane crash
accident or murder
of a Democratic opponent.)
SCOTCHED BY A PEN
Physician Swango killed
with syringe
while Supreme Court 5 scotched
with pens.
Jack the Ripper
dispatched with knives
while Supreme Court 5 with
signature
ended lives.
Jackal .. he killed
with guns
while with their quills
do the Five kill.
But Ryan with his
plume
emptied the death
rooms
and Glendening
with ink of amber
did shut down
execution chambers.
CABOOSE WITH BRAKES

been the caboose of
the engine of time..

BRITISH PEACE
As floating cotton fluffs
become stuck on tree twigs
so now do the plutocratic
wigs
of the powdered bigwigs
to the people's boughs bow
TRAFFIC POLICEMAN WHISTLES THROUGH
A time of much traffic..
the traffic policeman
overrides red lights
and motions you through
BEYOND SCHOOL NO RULES
When a soul is
ready for no
external rules
he has ripened to
the point he can
break out of school
INVEST IN NONVIOLENCE
it is safer
not to invest
in murdered cadavers
people ingest
PIGGY BEAR
he once had a
cat
named Piggy Bear
.. with such fat
and cute sweet paws
.. his loving aura
enfolded
even his hidden claws
Whatever
he wished for
was brought
by the reindeer
with Santa Claus
INNOCENT MURDERED BY GOVERNOR
When the execution
governor
left the prison
some thought the
prison walls
barred the guilty
inside
from the innocent outside..
but it was the reverse.
Even so
God's evensong
says Thou
Shalt Not Judge
(to O'Dell Barnes, one
of many innocents killed
by the State of Texas)
BLOOM BEDEWED
Because it
is the nature of
the bee
when outside
to do not to be
he did bid adieu
to the bloom bedewed
MERCY AND TIME
Mercy's statute of
limitation: time
melts the cross...
erases the crime.
FLAWLESS
Because he rescued
an ox on the Sabbath
they called the
man lawless.
He chose
not earth law
but God's
design flawless.
DEMEANOR
Welldressed and of controlled demeanor.
are those who prosecute small misdemeanors.
Yet are their souls oft colder and meaner.
MARBLE FALLS
As the unelected Supreme Court
voted for death for yet
another innocent,
a piece of marble fell from
the ceiling in late November
of 2005. God will not long brook
further judicial murder.
A piece of mrable falls
.. a sculpture of a cataract
does not flow with love..
it is a marble falls.
Can God's Moses rods
strike water from these rocks?
