I love the poetry corner and didn't want to muck it up
with anything close to politics.


ol' cat is a poet of the highest order and like it or
don't, poetry and politics have always been inseparable.

Here are some words, more along the lines of what I was thinking.
Maybe they explain why I was kinda mad at ol' Cat, not knowing just
where he stood when he got on that plane and was pulled off:

"You're Missing" BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN


i understand.

but he's no more "Missing" than you or i.

in fact he's more visible than we are.

if you wanted to know where he stood when he got on that
plane you could have clicked this link:

or this one:

a critical human relations mistake was made in taking him
off that plane. one that could seriously damage the
reputation of the united states. if i were the president
i'd take immediate action to correct it.

Mother, Father, Sister, Brother
Why are you not hearing me?
Mother, Father, Sister, Brother
Why cannot you care for me?
O my Mother why no longer
do I hear you call my name?
Is it something wrong I've done
on the day the soldiers came?
