I stand at the station The vibration of dehydrationA severe water shortagemy hand lies upon the railThey thought the industrial revolution would be the solutionBut it only caused humongous pollution and made our situation worse nursing our purse stringsThere's no absolution for the planet's destruction the summation of our nation requires a delegation to provide an explanationFor the oil spill libation, the denigration of our earth, the aggravation for future generationsIs there any salvation?A dearth of information with the
roar of despair another new scareAs if you can make oil disappearmy words lingers like smoke the crowd inhales themJoin the midnight foray into the city wilderness – express suppress obsess and transgress the information deliberations lead to impressionsso - you got a standing ovation for a braised hendazed crazed and fed you'll get phased
out too with introspectionremember - we're only small atoms
in the evolution of this universewe need to stay in motion for the duration of our generation to achieve salvation for our planet

15 Minutes to Fame
A moment opens to eternity Fastidious, attached to passing moments,
I live in Warhol daysAn open heart mends woundsAre you for or against them? What's your political game?Everyone's got his 15-minutes of fameAre you on their side or mine? Is it them or is it us?Is there an us anymore? Who is us anymore anyway?Anywhere I'm supposed to know? Did you know …My headache keeps me awake to
cover the worldwide newsAn open wound ~ Nightly sound of the evening newsA bleeding ulcer seeking to be healedCloser to home news too, all news is bad newsExcept the rescued puppy thrown in to control youA news-forecast makes everything worse – Ignore the news a week or two; say your regards to PlutoIgnore my bleak forecast of doomAll of us are doomed anywayThe more you do - the more gets doneWhen you stop doing there's no more to get doneAnother open wound …Always the dream remains of another go-roundTake care. Hope … to see you thereIf & when there is another go-round

The link to the article is here:
Court Dismisses a Case Asserting Torture by C.I.A.
My comment is published here!
I think torture will never end and the populace can't possibly know what is going on because we are not permitted to. Europe is a little better than we are in providing information but in general information is controlled. Every news report will have several things; worldwide, state and local by county in addition to a few human interest tidbits. Remember we had a president who was ...

THERMODYNAMICS
I keep trying to create order amidst chaos
And am engaged in a losing battle
I try in little ways: I make up the bed,
Call creditors, respond to landlord complaints about DubbleX
Call doctors, write letters to tons of official agencies
Very little seems to help
I keep trying to create order amidst chaos
Life is stories strung together like grapes
Hanging unpicked b4 my eyes
Right there why can't I see it
I keep looking and trying to touch
I can't see all the fuss
Ur sweet soft lips pressing against mine...
