a new poem on the poetry page.... im working on some things... here are some excerpts:

* a poem on jihad and nationalistic war
"I’m the one who sent horror upon your spacious skies,
And left your amber weighs of gold buried beneath the rubble.
Stained your purple mountains red with blood so you could empathize
with the masses we see, scared walking the streets of Kabul,
of Baghdad, of Jerusalem, Beirut, and all our Holy Land."

* a poem called preaching from the confessional booth (about ministers who molest)


*a poem that describes how really hard topics are often joked about... (or maybe within a larger poem)

* a confession poem thats has lines similar to this (probably be edited later)
"So if you’re looking through that key hole
then you’re looking right through me
and Im sorry for the painful confusion I caused
by ever letting you think you really knew me. "

* and a poem that has something like this in it.
"I slip you on like how a princess trips on slippers or an alki slips on liquor,
trips and splinters, disintegrates into mess,
but that’s just the first test, wont be the worst test. "
