Ruff in Buff

So many stories, words, and updates to write
To be an advocate, to respond to fright
Watched the Changeling – cold blood killers and corrupt powers
Read about bailouts and stimuluses sent not to homes, but to towers

What I want to say, you see, can be summed
In a few great rattling sentences drummed
Played to the tune sounding of a kinda Dr. Suess-like tone
Today’s his birthday; can I tickle your inspiration bone?

“What about the news stories?
The ones that don’t get covered?”
Says ruff from nearby Buff.

My peers: children, teens and 20 somes
They’re all marchin’, carryin’ and shoutin’,
In unity, they are lovin’ on bums and slums
See the bus, with green spirit, they say listen to us!

What is going on with the blindfold-a-thon?
“There is no other way!”
Hollars many moms from the town of run-all-day.

“Halt!” Demands the comfortable chairman
“How dare you speak on a hippy lo phone.
You are to support and pray – not moan.”

Who’s getting the loan?
Who’s getting richer?
And who is suffering?
And what is on the back, I can’t quite see yet
Oh my, DON’T BE SILENT!

Joining in – this is my intent.
Invent and do do do DO DO!
I am no whistler nor horn blower
What I am? What are you? What are we?
Citizens we be, for a fee so don’t eat apathy.

Start small with a grassroots-do
Be active and patient like… moo… MOO…. MOO
Oh excuse me, but there goes Moopheus
And his crew exposing the Meatrix

Be like Leo, be intentional in your next meat meal
Be a banner-manner-justice-truth bearer
Learn and then declare – tell the truth for others to hear
“We need to be critical,” I say to Mr. Comfy Chair.
“Responsibilities and duties call
And bosses don’t always tell us who is marching on the mall.”

See my home, it is here, American Empire, Grab a beer
“A Christian Nation,” and “ A Hope for All,” toasts Sir and Madam lie
Although sly, authentic Christianity pledges not to a state
And a state is to conserve life – mine doesn’t, ask Nate

Nate is a solider sent to Iraq, he listens to Johann Sebastian Bach
The instruments calm his troubled mind
Doing his job to force feed the fruit democ-ra-rind
He killed people and now realizes he’s a people
So he works to stop people from killing people

Now in Buff they say lots of crazy stuff
Making it seem that science is all huff and puff
Can I up-tuff off my duff here in Buff and say some needed resnuff?
Resnuff is stuff that helps to re-create, re-invent and redefine
A thing to clarify, no sting, no fine.

Keep posted and check back
I will address the attack and carry the sack
One life, two life, red life, blue life, love life, embrace life
Uphold global warmin’, celebrate Darwin
2009 is the year of Science
Voice for the voiceless, the unborn and the homeless
Loving like Jesus, HOW DO WE DO THAT!?
