GRAFFITI

A poem about naivete' . . .

Skull and crossbones

Black and heinous

Drawn with all of the skill of a six year old

You paint your graffiti in your crude and ignorant hand

Like the paid vandals of ancient Rome

Spreading harmful lies throughout the land

Galling the gullible and playing politicians

 

Prostituting your integrity for fool’s gold

Come out into the light of day

Show your face and back up what you say

You are playing a dangerous game

Because though your enemy lives far away

His ally is your next door neighbor

And the ally owes your enemy a favor

how easy it is to throw rocks from behind trees, to anonymously lead a slander campaign, to run from the shadows and stab one in the back, to fire bullets from a moving train. here is the invitation to meet at high noon, a powerful projection of prose, a linguistic warning shot, curling smoke rising in the air - a swift pulling aside of the leather nestling the six gunned pen of the pen slinger that you are.

Deeply intense, and this message hits close to home for sure in the wake of the terrorist movement the last verse is especially effective Blue but even on a personal level you are so right, we may often think those closest to us are friends only to find out they are much closer to our enemies.

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
