A Bee Sez

1984 TIMESPEAK UPDATE

Mr. Bee wonders (as the world turns)
how freedom
education and promise
create the possibility
of power
for those who want
to intimidate   crush   destroy   kill
anyone who has the temerity to disagree with them.

Terrorists
1 – used statues of the Buddha for target practice
2 – stole the sign over the entrance of the shrine at Auschwitz
3 – tore down the mojave desert memorial cross that they did not approve of
4 – ?

disbelievers have lined up with true believers in the hate race!

In this world of predatory moralists
bad becomes good
it is right to wrong
passion for morality the excuse for terrorism.

ps
considering the activities of William Ayers
his letter to the New Yorker magazine (05-19-10)
on “the origins of terror”
is it apt for a former terrorist
who has the need to set the record straight about his place in American history
to be the one to define
terror.

Make war not love!

Few appreciate the joys of quiet
A lot of nothing is on the internet
A river of trivia floating by
Some people don’t ever stop

The Japanese have Haragei the unspoken way
Let’s not go there
The poet Elliot had to
Use words when he talked to you
The philosopher Wittgenstein
Nearly went nuts
Finding a way to say
Something accurate and to the point

The Bee aims to comment
As an observer rather than a critic
If something has meaning to me it is my intention
To say it naturally as possible
Simply

It may seem like Greek to you
Mr Bee doesn’t do
