"New intelligence that the al-Qaida terrorist network plans to attack commercial or financial institutions in New York City has prompted police to urge security directors at various city buildings to take extra precautions. " The news according to those rich enough to manipulate the news. . .

Poem Artwork

"If everyone's agreeing, then somebody's not thinking." Authors Den Poet Diva, Nordette Adams.




All was right in Boston,
No one had a scare,
But again THEY orchestrate
a terror threat to raise our fear.

We live in a mighty nation,
One where NO ONE deserves any harm,
But popularity polls don't lie
And in tossing pro footballs, no charm.

All will be right in New York City,
Just as they plan it to be,
But again, they announce
a prime time threat
that the first time, when real,
they had no sense to see.

Regardless of who you will vote for,
Use some plain ol' common sense,
If you knew that people were out to unseat you, then tell me
just how YOU would plan YOUR defense?

Poet's Commentary: (From an independent thinking voter who knows that Colin Powell's baby boy obeys those who own THE MEDIA, BIG BROTHER, call it what you will. . .they are the same folks trying to pawn off those no-fat potato chips, liposuction, and every pill for our perceived common ills that herbs can heal known to science. (But hey now, THE MEDIA and Wall Street can't make money on natural healing, can they now?) God Bless Organic Farmers who originally MADE America before fat cat drug companies tried to steal it from us, and keep us from going to Canada or Mexico to fix ourselves for a reasonable price.)



Forget "Where's Waldo!" Truth is asking "Where's Rumsfeld?"

That's the dilemma. Like the hitman always gets his man, the terrorist can pick the time and place, and strike without detection.

Hi, Cynth'ya . You're doing what artists do. Thinking, feeling, telling it. We're not automatons. My mother often quoted my grandfather as saying, "If everyone's agreeing, then somebody's not thinking." We do have to consider whether all we're told is always all true.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." ~~George Santayana

My defense would be a good offense. Though I tend to think we disagree on some of these issues, I enjoyed your write. Thanks for sharing.

That you would make this an issue so totally disgusts me, I have to leave the site!
