A Current State of Affairs

Spinning, spinning ourselves out of control,
Mad whirling dirvishes, choking on the smoke
We gave ourselves. Wear a mask, take your pill-

It's a slippery slope, crisis of logic currently pressing
Its little finger on the human temple causing the hugest
Headache. Magical charade lying over desolation,
Deceit in no short supply.

America, America! God can't shed His grace no more on thee,
You see, or maybe not, killing yourselves. You can't damn the man
While hooked to the crude I.V. Sit in hot, boiling steaming,
People screaming for help from flooded-out buildings, but you
Can't hear shit from 30,000 feet.

Global Warming

Rolling Stone magazine is not often seen as being a source for good articles on current events and world happenings. I however, beg to differ and would like to offer up an example from the current month's edition: a very well written article by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the "Chief Prosecuting Attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper and President of Waterkeeper Alliance." (source, www.robertfkennedyjr.com/about) So, having said all of that, please take the time, if you have not already, to read his article. It is my personal belief that everyone should know the truth about global warming and to also know that Al Gore is not the sole source of information on it. It's everyone's problem and we all need to be informed in order to take action. Here's the link:

Good Poetry Website

I've recently found an excellent website of poetry and advise anyone with a true love and interest for poetry to go there: www.poets.org Thanks to Dr. Peggy Albers at Georgia State University for having the link on her homepage.
