Poems that rhyme, May Day, my Bluestockings event, & math problems from Hell
May Day 1969...I don’t know this first hand, friends who were at protest in DC said with the numbers of angry anti-war participants, police brutality, etc...if everyone were armed, there would have been a violent revolution.
Posted by joe of maine on from 05/01 at 09:11 AMGlanced at calendar, it tells me today is Holocaust Rememberance Day...which holocaust, there’s too many to remember, I can’t keep up with all the holocausts in progress, in fact there is no ‘space of peace’ to remember between holocausts!
Posted by joe of maine on from 05/01 at 01:04 PMHello Expendables...from sunny but soon to be rainy Astoria.
You’re right, Joe, on Earth every day is Holocaust Rememberance Day.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 05/01 at 01:32 PMMaybe the Beastie Boys can rhyme ‘holocaust.’ I can’t rhyme worth a nickel.

‘bout the Holocaust
Rhymin’ and stealin’ ‘bout
six million lostPosted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 05/01 at 05:07 PMI could teach all a y’all thing or two about rhymin...but I won’t. I lived it. 1979 (and the early 80’s). A young white boy ear to the speakers...taping the latest beats off whatever came out of the radio. Listening and understanding what black people were saying to each other...not to me, but each other...understanding that there was a new sound that I was a witness to but not a part of. And here we are...2008...reverend Wright...the new black man...here...judged. A horn blows. I am telling you...a horn is blowing. Here I am...alone in my apartment...listening to the change that never occurred.

Posted by richie on from st james city/n ft myers FL -- 05/01 at 11:11 PMHello, Cool Observer, Joe of Maine, Zen Prole, JOS and Richie - and Happy May Day to all of you!
We had a very rainy day today - mainly showers with the sun coming out in between.
Here’s my link for today - excellent piece by Chalmers Johnson on the all-powerful military-industrial-congressional complex in the US (not that Australia is far behind):

Posted by Helga Fremlin on from Daylesford, Australia 05/02 at 04:07 AMMorning all.
Our fellow earthicans have had enough and are learning to use weapons...And have a happy birthday weekend Mickey.
Posted by Mew on from clophill 05/02 at 05:46 AMHello Expendables. I must say, the last few comments are extraordinary. Wow...thanks, all.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 05/02 at 06:00 AMThe elderly woman in the soup line said americans have anally repressed feelings...I guess this was a polite way to say we are dead.
Posted by joe of maine on from 05/02 at 04:52 PMLET’S ROAR.
The problem’s too big
the perpetrators unknown
you can’t beat the system
all on your own.
So it’s easy to withdraw
find your own little cage
turn a blind eye to the suffering
stifle your rage,
but the greed goes on
the poverty’s still there,
you can’t just leave it
for your children to bear.
Others feel as you do
eager to put things right
but locked in isolation
it’s a hopeless fight,
so don’t sit in silence
behind a closed door,
your voice can help raise
a whisper to a roar.Posted by John Couzin on from Glasgow UK 05/04 at 03:51 PMgood stuff i love poems
Posted by poems on from 05/18 at 09:49 PMTic Tac, the night is young
Unleash the staples for some fun
Ideas travel with the tic of the clocks
Yes! they can be blocksI shall construct a car
Sadly it will not travel too far
I can build a bar!
But it lacks drinks
No no, I need ideas…think!http://earthyonlinepoems.wordpress.com/
