Farmer's Market
" Healthy Fast Food"
Fast foods can be healthy
Saunter through a natural environment
You will stumble across
Apples, berries, flowers, number of other countless foods
That is nutritious, ready to be picked
No need to wait in line
Unless you are indolent
To pick it yourself
Poceed to the nearest Farmer's Market
Where the agriculturalist
Has freshly supplied it for you
And you all had speculated fast foods weren't healthy
"I Feel Like"
When I attend a Farmer's Market
With money to purchase
A week supply of good wholesome food and more
I feel like an over-sexed fetishist
During an everything 50% off sale
In a over-size sex store

Through the Eyes of Rachel Corrie
[The greatest American hero/heroine that ever lived.]
An American I am
A Patriot I am
Not solely to America
But the entire world
I'm Rachel Corrie
Here for peace I came
Undergoin' the reality
In this city of Rafah
Abandoned in the Gaza Strip
Startled at what I observe
Bulldozers exterminatin' homes
Exterminatin' fruit trees
Exterminatin' innocent lives
Exterminatin' vegetable gardens
Exterminatin' roads
Exterminatin' water wells
*What is left for people
*Tell me if you can
*Think of anything I can't
*I'm scared for these people
Our nation's media is silent
Our government finance this
*Disbelief & hooror is what I feel
I must remain to provide their voice
Americans needs to be informed
The exposure of these deeds
These crimes needs to be known
at what these people endure
Although *I'm amazed at their strength
*In being able to defend
*Such a large degree
*Of their humanity
*Laughter,generosity & Family time
It's now March 16,2003
Bulldozer head towards our direction
Proceedin' towards a home
A home I stay at
The home of the family I live with
A family that's done nothin' illegal
A family whom opened their home to me
A family whom opened their arms to me
I have no choice
I'm obligated to protect their home
Armed with just a bullhorn
Shoutin' in broad day light
Here to take a stand
Confrontin' face to face
With the driver,I oppose this act
Even though I'm in veiw
He continues to draw near me
Won't withdraw from this resistance
I don't wantto fail this battle
Even though the driver continues
I only know fearless at this moment
With this 8-ton Caterpillar
I was trampled
Then the driver backed-up
Crushin' me to death
Have you heard of me America
Most likely,not
The corporate media is silent
The American government does nothin'
Nothin' for justice,justice for me
My name America is...
Rachel Corrie,Rachel Corrie
My bravery needs to be ascertained
Ascertained by America
Open your eyes,open your ears America
I'm screamin' out to you
From my grave
I haven't stopped talkin' America
Listen to me
I still scream from this bullhorn
I'm reachin',supplyin' the truth
My voice continues to speak
They tried to silence me
Then
And now
My voice haunts these criminals
My writings haunts these criminals
Wake up America
Listen to the real agenda
What's happenin' in the Gaza Strip
Courageous acquatances tells my story
The story of
Rachel Corrie,Rachel Corrie
Stand up & be heard
Be an American patriot
Like I am
One to the whole world
Let the world know
The injustices of the world
The U.S. government
And the media
Remains silent
For their own agenda
Tell my story
To America
To the whole world
My story
The story of
Rachel Corrie

Poem about a difficult scavenger list
"A Ridiculous Scavenger Hunt List"
A nudist wearing a derby, lounging about at Christmas on a city’s park grass
A man in a tie-dyed business suit rolling in the mud laughing off his ass
A piece of rusted plumbing at the curb with the trash printed in Italic letters “Made in the USA”
A construction worker with his head out a third story window of a dance studio shouting “Ole, Ole!!!”
An ice sculpture of a pride of lions tiptoeing through tulips, midday in the springtime
Five clowns donned in high heeled leather boots pushing a baby grand over a highways center line
A child under 10 at a curb with covered in temporary tattoos thumbing through an unabridged dictionary
A priest with his buttocks exposed through ripped pant’s hind-end, on both sides snickering fairies
A mongoose playing chess with a macaw on a raft with pieces of green and orange on a blue and yellow chess board
A woman dressed as Mrs. Santa Clause with ram horns holding a sign that reads "Praised the Lord"
A fourth grade class toting a four foot by four foot coffin filled with R. K. Cowles poetry wearing t-shirts printed with “I’d rather play the Theremin” on it
A living statue of a transvestite dressed in medieval garb grasping a mace and upon her head an over-sized Viking helmet
Someone pissing on the side of a building at noon that isn’t drunk, with a t-shirt that has printed on it “Jesus Saves”
An Asian female with body glitter and a boysenberry lollipop stuck in her mouth, with her head shaved
A matador whacking dust out of a rug with a spade from a fourth story balcony
A wigless cross dresser wearing a jester’s hat tap dancing on top of a pink SUV
A nudist in the act of cow tipping wearing on her face a C3PO mask
A kangaroo in diapers guzzling tobacco sauce from a golden flask
A man with turquoise lips doing jumping jacks in a banana outfit next to
A marbled sculpture of the Liberty Bell
In the middle of the street a shackled hare, gagged with duct tape chasing
A bearded tortoise outside of its shell
A restaurant serving Red Liberty Red Wine at dawn by a waitress reciting poems by Lewis Carroll
Group of elderly disables in a plaid station wagon mooning a young priest exiting a cathedral
Two chimpanzees in tutus hopping on pogo sticks shaped as devil-horned penguins
A pillow fight in a lingerie boutique between a cook and a waiter without their aprons
A band of street performers using bluegrass instruments covering a Cab Calloway tune
A criminal being spanked by his own belt over a lap of a female police officer named June
