EXODUS-TO-DUST

For Palestinians, Israeli elections signal deepening occupation --Haaretz, January 21, 2013

Emptiness echo full of itself
Reverberating eardrum downbeat tambour percussion
Vainglorious ambitions disconnected unanswered prayers
Orchestrated symphony forever left unfinished

Terra not so firma quaking
Earth reopened bottomless sinkhole aftershocks
Natural depression hollow subway passages
Ants streaming through clogged arteries

Shorn sheep led to slaughter
Tough tasteless mutton gyros grilled
Axis rotating in wrong direction
Anti-clockwise alarm no turning back

Unholy land-grab borderless uncivil war
Black white gray distinctions obliterated
Singed hawk feathers decalcified plumes
Phoenix smoldering in spitfire embers

Fearless hate-mongers playing for keeps
Recycled unsettled grievances sold out
Unruly mob committing unjustifiable offences
Numbed conscience bleeding cardinal sins

Mauve dusk undermining tomorrow’s dawn
After dark luminous eclipsed aura
Overshadowed neon deep purple afterglow
Nocturnal rhapsody evocative fallen stars

BEAN ME UP^ SCOTTY!

Poem by Charles Frederickson

Human beans emerging from seedpods
Lentil rentals uprooted humanure soil
Colorful multiversity uniquely different flavors
Green Creole bayou Cannellini white

Boston Baked sturdy ceramic pot
South American Andes Lima natives
Japanese adzuki Tex-Mex frijole pintos
Thigh legumes muscle sprouts workouts

Brazilian feijado Goomba Garbanzo chickpeas
Spanish spinach guisante French pois
Yellow wax red kidney succotash
Black-eyed cowpeas symbolizing Good Luck

Lebanese hummus disguised as legumes
Coffee beans actually berry seeds
Soybeans miso tofu protein powerhouse
Source of potassium iron magnesium

My fave veggie is salsa
Delicioso feuds always fattening fitness
Retired has-bean angry grump-peas
Clearing old farts’ gassy air

What the health bean appetite
Whirled peas visualized from afar
Avant-garden auld nutrition recycled
Unzipped shucked shells soupy split

UNSEASONABLE CLIMATE CHANGE

Poem by Charles Frederickson

Graphic by Saknarin Chinayote

Imploding lonesome planet soiled earthlings

Perverse intolerant misunderstandings amongst Christians

Jews Muslims Buddhists Hindus Sikhs

Praying to whatever god listens

12 days of Christmas solemn

Ramadan 28 Kwanzaa lasting 7

Hanukkah Menorah aglow 8 eventides

Overstuffed feasts celebratory tummy aches

Kwanzaa Swahili meaning harvest bounty

7 guiding Nguzo Saba principles

Umoja (unity) Ujima (responsibility) Imani

(faith) Kuumba (creativity) unmitigated joy

Hanukkah from Hebrew connoting dedication

Honors victorious revolt entering Jerusalem

Holy temple sanctified eternal flame

Oil lamp kindling black light

Ramadan most intensely worshipful time

Profoundly serious compassion giving charity

More about dependence than abstinence

Fasting from sunrise to sunset

O Tannenbaum emerald forest blighted

How lovely were your branches

Hoping faith recycled comfort bring

Resilient strength throughout New Year

IFFY FUTURE FORECAST

Poem by Charles Frederickson

Graphic by Saknarin Chinayote 

Topsy-turvy third planet from Sun
Upside-down silk lining turned inside-out
Biofuel technological solutions replacing geological
Asteroid mining commercial solar power

Oceans cannot absorb greenhouse emissions
Cataclysmic climate effects current adrift
Digital radar storm tracking surveillance
Arctic shrinkage meltdown icebergs overturned

Handle With Care survival issues
Over-consumption splurge space tourism colonies
Funny business as usual until
Endangered resource depletion runs out

Nanotech manipulating nothing’s the matter
On quantum atomic molecular scale
Biosphere demands exceeding global biocapacity
Supply chain profit margins unlinked

Systematic holistic challenges about-face turnabout
Equitable sustainable cosmos needs different
Set of values bankrupting nature
Contaminated eco-environment next generation’s legacy

Regenerative telemedicine cloning dinosaur egg
Autonomous robots emotionless artificial intelligence
Discovering fast-forward ways toward happier
More contented resilient co-existence habitation

SUPER TUESDAY

Poem by Charles Frederickson

$UPERCILIOU$

Oily gutter politricks sunken rainbows
Warped arc reflection scared straight
Contending with scorched soil tactics
Flying Saucer Tea Party crash-landing

$UPERPHONY

If Obama walked on water
Rancid Foxy creatures that inhabit
Polluted foggy bottomless DCeption
Would ask: “Can’t he swim?”

$UPERCHARLATAN

Barely afloat back from brink
Contrarian House craven maven power-mongers
Relentlessly diminishing disrespecting unwilling to
Act in common good-better-best faith

$UPEROPPORTUNI$T

Obstructionist Congress lobbying corporate sponsors
Casino crapshoot rolling loaded dice
Greedy unprincipled hypocrites institutionalizing avarice
Judeo-Christian-Zionist unholy crusader war
 
$UPER$CHMOOZER

Barack is who he is
Fundamentally principled reversing Bush catastrophes
Despite monumental Republican’t  naysayers bucking
Broncobama No-OK Corral rodeo champ
 
$UPERPANDERER

Left is right bipolarized chill-out
As good as it’s gonna
Get for next four years
Probably better than we deserve

NOVUS ORDO SEDORUM

Poem by Charles Frederickson

Graphic by Saknarin Chinayote 

Whose world is it anyway
Shorn sheep led to slaughter
Innocent lambs barbecue spit grilled
Monopoly Boardwalk 99% mortgages foreclosed

American-can unipolarity chiding homeless hubris
Spreading unfounded panic humiliating intimidation
Displaced classless NOocracy abysmally ignorant
Resentful of U.S. vs. THEM status Quo Vadis

Corporate think-thank-thunk tanks Foxy televisionairies
Right-wing plot achieving universal domination
Bushwhacker has-beens declaring bleached supremacy
Overacting upstages gilded lily abomi-Nation

In Gold Wet Rust imperial
Self-interest oily motivation Super-Capitalism
Federal Reserve 4N Relations Council
IMFucked Vaseline friend or enema

Rapture theologians blissfully force open
Heaven’s Gate to annihilation prophecy
Nuclear holocaust Great Armageddon battle
Fallen angels neon halos unplugged

Where New World gives orders
Superclass dictating microchip virtual implants
Viral Internet cyber-propaganda mindset virus
Sold Out to highest bidder

Author's Note: Inspired by Earl Wilcox’s nudging.
