re submitted after lying fallow for 3 years nothing seems to have changed much.
c.2003 M. Bennett Hooper
I call myself and angel but some folks call me bitch and I accept the Definition of Beauty In the conscious Head. So unless the full phrase is used the acronym is totally unacceptable. BITCH Beauty In The Conscious Head.
You see the whores among us care little for what they are called as long as they are paid. And they are not all gyrating half clothed bimbos in music videos or cute young things bumping and grinding in larger than life motion pictures. They are not all females and they are not all Black. They are not all tattooed and wearing body rings. They are not all obese billboards floating in spandex. They do not all wear sagging clothes, spew four letter words through grilled mouths and hang gaudy religious symbols of dubious worth from their necks, as they sing , thank you motherf***ers for this honor.
The harbored whores among us sit at the pinnacle of power in business, government, religious and educational institutions Even the fifth estate has capitulated in the form of a controlled and managed news media And those too lazy to look beyond the obvious are seduced into accepting propaganda as truth.
We in the US are the last alleged super power and as such the US wants to be copied, loved, and supported by the rest of the world. Think not, then if we don’t want their support how can consumption of over half of the world’s resources be justified?
Ask yourself are not some of us the harbored whores of the world? Rich, arrogant, and so self righteous that we are surprised, when even the blind can see our nakedness, as we continually harbor whores whose actions proclaim they do not love us.
The job of a whore is to get paid not to love the payee. Big business ain’t nothing but street game. And America’s religious, educational, and governmental institutions are nothing but big street games in which harboring whores has sadly become the norm.
Wow! What a message! It cannot be ignored. It's really not much different here at all. Thank you. Love and peace,
Regis

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
