For Your Sins
by STEW ALBERT
The right Reverend Franklin Graham
(Billy's Kid)
will be preaching at the Pentagon
on Good Friday.
Not so Good for the Moslems.
Franklin recently blamed 9/11
on Islam
which he declared an "evil faith."
Moslems who work
for the Defense Department
complained.
Franklin's preachers happen to be
on the Iraqi border
anxious to conquer Baghdad
for Dubya and Jesus Bush.
The service is a go.
"We believe in pluralism"
responds the Pentagon.
Can you picture Rev Louis Farakahan preaching to the troops
after he called Judaism a "gutter religion?"
Children of a lesser God
preach in lesser places.

Of Flags and Gags
by AL BUONO
Stiffly
how they wave behind their
SUVs and pickups
frayed soon to tatters within
the seventy mile an hour winds which drive
the interstate
symbols
not so much of patriotism
as of cupidity born of ignorance
and complacency
as of my country ever more wrong
than right
flags
become more useful now
as gags as blindfolds as earplugs

Chaos Theory (Revisited)
by HAMMOND GUTHRIE
And the Anti-Lord appeared before
the Bush--
"I am the Anti-Lord; march forth preeminently
and unilaterally before me onto the sands of Abraham,
for you must dominate by faith, and not sight
And the Bush drew near--
"And can I march and dominate
my way
to Damascus, Teheran, and beyond?"
And soon after whispering to the
Bush
the Anti-Lord went his way as he had left
communing with the Bush
And the Bush returned unto his morning
brief with the Director of the CIA
The United Nations was not invited
to attend
this exhibition, behind barb wired diplomacy,
leaving spent uranium boot prints in the sand
Chaos in the Land of Abraham
Recovering the not so distant echo
and refrain
of children persistently traumatized by war,
their innocent hearts scarred with shrapnel
