The Opening of the Eyes

humpty has moved up to the wall &
all the kings horses, men, soldiers, fighter planes and drones
are focused on further strangling iran,
they are denying a palestinian state
they are backing the further settlements of israel
they are focused on running for the throne of the empire in 2012
and as business as usual continues
they march on as cogs in the disturbing, self-destructive machine
which has not learned a thing from history.

but the opening of the eyes within the empire
at the civilian level
is beginning to occur &
people are finally in the streets
people are throwing their fists in the air &
the blood is pumping in this
siezing of the day---
one might even go so far as to say that
some may in fact be ready to fight.

if humpty & his men are still claiming that
“what we have here, is a failure to communicate,”
then they better get their megaphones &
they better open their history books---
one should wonder if marie antoinette’s neck was sufficiently
lotioned up
when she went to the guillotine,
or if the nicholas II (bloody nicholas) & his family were ready
for what came to them in the ipatiev house that night in mid-july---
while the mainstream media are finally forced to cover what is
happening,
the fuse has been lit in other cities.

when the eyes open,
a person is able to look around &
in this brilliant, beautiful and monumental moment,
one can look to see others who have finally had enough
whose eyes are now opened too
and whose ambition is full of fire,
intelligence &
perseverance.

this is happening.
