Waiting. Watching. Knowing


I am not very good at waiting.
I am better at watching.
I'm best at knowing.

The problem with knowing is that
I don't know as much as I think I know.

The problem with watching
is that too often I watch without seeing.

The problem with not waiting
is that I end up with impatient results.

Know-Nothing Black Shirts

Getting even quick
With those out of line,
Through vandalism --
Cutting a gas line,
Throwing a brick,
Words invite guns.

Got my billy-club,
Got a real sharp knife,
Gonna go hunting,
Scalping the life
Out of who put us here.

Everybody’s got guns,
Drinking coffee at Starbucks,
Watching fair and balanced
Overhead the coffee cups,
Repeating what they repeat,
“Broken trust sickens.”

Map minds got targets
On the map of the nation,
Like heat seeking missiles
To find and take out.
Nobody plays fair. We know
Where your children are.

Almost time to rise up
And bring on the Apocalypse.
Let’s see who shows up
Capitalist or Socialist corpse.
Whichever side God’s on,
He’ll be sure to know.
