The boy who shot birds (Free verse) by Bachus
I wake up early just to skip breakfast Under my bottom bunk hides my arsenal Every ten year old B.B. gun collectors envy At least here in Rancho Cucomunga, California My backyard is my young-hunter's-jungle-safari I need not wait for the sun My eyes adjust readily To the lack of light I am completed with the wearing of camouflage Now my yard is my lair, so beware All of you little critters With apprehension for the kill, my body jitters Trigger finger solely sweats I need no binoculars, nor a tossed net Because these birds I-do-not-catch Today I am the B.B. gun marauder A holy water drinker with the title crusader A perverted feather collector After all I took that raven's beak in Minnesota Glued it to the front of my hand-carved-apple-wood-peace-pipe It sits above the hanging strings of cinnamon dental floss that are holding the raven's blackened feathers as wind chimes My secret names read gently carved into the pipes sides Deep within this madness my brain is hitching unhealthy rides Back to California to hear my mother's tides Sparrows on branches howling like wolves In the stare of their presence My animal essence Their down feathered incense Cucomunga, was the domain I think the power of the Daisy-red-rider-B.B.-gun slightly twisted around my morals The trophy obtained was dead coral It sat upon the book case in the den The vase held some laurel Tacky but proud Proud as the doctors slap 'pon a baby's new ass <Vice President Dick Cheney says the United States can't afford to wait in taking action against Saddam Hussein.> ------------------------------------------------------------- GO AND WATCH FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS-VEGAS, OR NOT, DICK! ----------- BUY ALOT OF BATTERIES AND CANNED FOOD SELECTIONS. DICK! ----------- KIDNAP AND RAPE A VIRGIN, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, OR NOT, DICK! ------------------------------------------------------------- NASHVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) -- The United States can't wait until Iraq obtains nuclear weapons before taking action against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday. (Cuz Mr. Cheney's got the inside lane on way more than just stocks and investment plans people, he's got an agenda too IF PAKISTAN HAS NUKES...DO YOU REALY think Iraq doesn't !? Dick doesn't. Doesn't think. Think Dick does. Think again) "The risks of inaction are far greater than the risk of action," he told a meeting of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. (irony stings, stings bad) In his speech, Cheney underscored the administration's position that the Iraqi leader remains a threat and must be dealt with sooner, rather than later. (I would pay fucking money to hear that speech. Too late now) (Why ? Again didn't we kill that fuck (Sadam) when we controled the future of Iraq, after the persian gulf war ? Dick Cheney, yep) "I am familiar with the arguments against taking action in the case of Saddam Hussein," Cheney said. "Some concede that Saddam is evil, power hungry and a menace (mirrored images see not one another), but that until he crosses the threshold of actually possessing nuclear weapons, we should rule out any preemptive action. That logic seems to me to be deeply flawed." (I say we assassinate both of these scum bags back to back! For the ASC2) Cheney's speech came in the wake of new words of caution about taking action against Iraq from some leading Republicans. Former Secretary of State James Baker (Cheney's golf buddy) Sunday warned President Bush not to "go it alone" against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, but to build an international coalition. (Het batta batta batter batta batta batta swing, which republicans ? Exactly. Wouldn't you like to know ? Exactly. Of who? Arabs and jews, who go golfing and whoring while the blood of american children waits to be drained by the new and improved Vietnam #2) <Cheney comes back from the bed. Nicely swelled. Headache gone. Mothers Fucked. Everywhere. Again and again we begin> In his speech, Cheney never mentioned Baker or other Republicans who have voiced concern about the administration's planning on Iraq. But he made it clear that the administration did not favor a go-slow approach. (How about a go-blast approach! Bow to A~ll~A, recieve the SUN. Radiate) "We realize wars are never won on the defensive," said Cheney, who was defense secretary under President George W. Bush. "We must take the battle to the enemy. We must take every step necessary to make sure our country is secure, and we will prevail." (Yes, yes! Take the battle to them! I'm sure you wont miss a game of golf, or a lunch meeting, or a son. Shit! You might be dead by then anyway. Having only put the wheels in motion, but missing the ride. Right Dick ?) "What he wants is time and more time to husband his resources to invest in ongoing chemical and biological weapons programs and to gain possession of nuclear weapons," the vice president said of Saddam. If this occurs, "the implications would be enormous for the United States and the world." (another ENORMOUS opportunity for you and yours to get rich. Huh Dick) Cheney said the Iraqi leader could be expected to "seek domination of the entire Middle East" and manipulate the world's energy supplies (sound like an episode of the power rangers) because Iraq holds 10 percent of the world's oil reserves. In reviewing Hussein's background, Cheney said the leader has broken every weapons-related agreement he made with the United Nations after Iraq was defeated in the Persian Gulf War. (Geez...better send him up to the chalkboard. I will not blah, blah, lie, blah) He has failed to destroy chemical and biological weapons, and he has continued to aggressively seek nuclear capabilities, Cheney said. After Iraq refused to cooperate with U.N. weapons in spectors seeking to certify that the nation had no weapons of mass destruction, the inspectors left in late 1998. Cheney said their return at this point would be in vain. (You failed to destroy him then when you guys had the shot. Dick. Nice one.) "The return of inspectors would provide no assurance whatsoever of his [Hussein's] compliance with U.N. resolutions," he said. "On the contrary, there is a great danger that it would provide false comfort that Saddam was somehow back in his box." (Yes...Yes! Lets box it all up and wrap it for X-mas. Dick! Wont the kids be thrilled) Nothing has stopped Saddam's programs, including four days of bombing by the United States and Britain in 1998. "We will not simply look away, hope for the best and leave the matter for some future administration to resolve," Cheney said. "As the president has said, 'Time is not on our side." (Time is not on your side, cuz you have a weak heart lagging. Good luck) Al Qaeda, the terrorist network with cells in about 60 countries, also remain a threat to the United States, despite the U.S. victory in Afghanistan, Cheney said. Materials left behind in al Qaeda hideouts and videotapes, such as the ones obtained by CNN, show the terrorists have the means to produce and use weapons of mass destruction, he said. (If you build it, they will come, and besides sand turns to glass at 800 degrees farenheit, sheet upon sheet of green glass for miles and miles) Cheney praised the veterans for their contributions in war and peacetime, and said President Bush had asked Congress for an 8 percent increase in veterans' health care funding and a 7 percent increase in programs. He also noted the government's commitment to finding military men and women missing in action. (And soon he'll praise their grandchildren proper and lubed, but ironically soothingly) (Mushroom shaped lullabies. Think about the shape of a Dick. Think hard. Nuke) "This government will pursue its duty unless every last one is accounted for," Cheney said. After his speech, Cheney hosted a private lunch for U.S. Senate Republican nominee Lamar Alexander and GOP gubernatorial nominee Van Hilleary, now a Republican U.S. House member from Tennessee. (Yes he boasts well, for a good Christian god fearing family man feeling up his notches..Dick, you are my true motivation in life and limb keeping me trimmed) E-steamed Editor's note; who needs a brain when you have heroes like 'Dick'? Fuck on, and off Dick, and thank you for your time and most gracious understanding of my country and my mind. Where would we be without you!? <From the 'Bachus Rhetorical Triubunal', all rights spreading like rhino viruses ahhhh.....ahhhH HHH...ah..CHewwwwww. 2002. Bless you.
