7. OBITUARY
.......IN PASSING......

After 226 years, 7 months and 15 days of life;
On March 19th, 2003, at 7:12pm est.: America....."The Beautiful" died.

The World watched with shock and awe, as her assisted suicide was
wrought, at the hand of her commander in chief....G.W.(Long Shanks) Bush.

Though "she" was conceived and born through much travail and
aggression, "her" wonderful precepts of freedom, justice and liberty for all,
were made tangible by the signing of:

The Declaration Of Independence
The U.S. Constitution
The Bill Of Rights


For 226 years, generations of "her" citizens, many of whom;
ruined and sacrificed their lives defending her glorious precepts;
strove forward through time, with hope and purpose;
based upon one important belief:

TO NEVER BE THE AGGRESSOR, AGAINST ANY OTHER,
FOR ANY REASON EXCEPT: LEGITAMATE WAR SCENARIOS.


Of Americas Wars there have been many:
The Wars with the Native Peoples of "Her" Borders,
The American Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Civil War,
The Spanish American War, the Mexican War,
World War I, World War II, The Korean War, The Viet Nam War,
The "Cold War" , The War in Grenada, The Gulf War; "Iraq",
The War in Bosnia, The War in Afganistan, and now again,
The War in "Iraq": "Operation Iraqi Freedom"

It is by this device, "Operation Iraqi Freedom" that "SHE",
America...."The Beautiful" has perished.

By becoming the"First Strike Agressor",
America....."The Beautiful" gave up the ghost and passed into infamy.

Many of the World, long believing in "her" shinning precepts of
Freedom and Democracy, took example and followed suit,
to hopefully attain the same great rewards.

Now, these many mourn at "her" passing and so they should;
for at her last gasp, "she" took with "her" to the grave, peace.

Oh peace, most beautiful peace;
you too are gone from the earth.

Will you ever visit us again?
Come back to us please, we beg of you.

At this solemn moment;
one wishes to deny the truth, saying "NO" this is not possible:
for one says, I have seen "her" here and
yet another says; I have seen "her" there!
But these are lies based upon futile hope. Believe it not,
for: "She" is gone......"She" has passed......"She" is not.

To those of you who contributed to "her" demise;
your guilt is obvious, your sentence "I" can not pass.

To those of you who tried desperately to save "her", though in vain;
I salute you.

It is now time to say goodbye:

So bye, bye Miss American pie;
drove their Humvee's to the desert,
in the desert they died.

and good "ole" boys were drinking whiskey and rye;
as the bombs fell down through the sky;
as the bombs fell down "she" died.

Now, the stench of "her" rotting carcase offends the nostrills of all the world.

On that terrible day, March 19th, 2003, that which made America "Beautiful";
"her" righteous heart;.......quit beating......and "her" soul now lay in the ashes.

Whether "her" spirit can rise up from the ashes like
the mythical creature Phoenix, remains to be seen.

These are words I have been given, are they;
more than sentiment, or mere opinion?

6. EITHER / OR: PEACE OR WAR

The power of the pen or the power of the fist;
which will it be that you put on your list of
things to do when the future comes,
will you sing for peace or beat war drums?

What will you do with the many voices of reason
so loudly ringing in your ear;
will you stand tall, proud and uprightly or
shamefully cower down in fear?

What will yu do if you feel you are wrong;
will you change your tune or
sing the same song?

Which will it be from which you choose;
will we all win or we all lose?

Decisions, decisions, what , if and when;
will you scribe healing words in ink with your pen?
Which will it be that you put on your list;
hopefully not draw blood with your almighty fist!

To you the power is given whether either / or;
will it be love, understanding and peace;
or hate, confusion and war?

Should you choose the latter;
"SHE" shall surely die,
and her loss shall be lamented
as ashes fill the sky.

FranCisco d Nostromo 030303

On 031903,
"HE" George W. (Long Shanks) Bush, chose the latter:
hate, confusion and war.

Which will it be that YOU put on your list?

I am FranCisco d Nostromo I have spoken and I will speak again.
It's your turn now!

"From the very beginning I detested the vile flavor of drink issued
from the presses of war and murder;
and yet, the bitter wine of their fruits eversteadily flows into my mouth,
thereby forcing me to swallow their poisins of hate and greed.

My parched raw pallet, patiently awaits the end of the burning pain
of bloodshed and the new beginning; to quench my thirst with the sweet
tasting, coolness of peace". Thus sayeth the "Earth"

"The voice of thy brothers blood, crieth unto me from the ground and
now thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth
to recieve thy brothers blood from thy hand" Thus sayeth "THE LORD"

"Son; thy sins be forgiven thee" Thus also sayeth "THE LORD"

"If I ask you for forgiveness; will you give it to me or
will you perish with your hate"? FCdN

WELCOME MY FELLOW HUMANS

EVEPLEBE-ODIOUS
#1., 2. and 3

There is this lush, green, grassy pasture,
surrounded by a secure fence.

All over this pasture lay many piles of
bovine droppings.

Standing amongst these many piles of
bovine droppings are two bovine;

a steer and a bull.

Concerning these bovine droppings;
obviously there are two types:

Steer Shit and Bull Shit.

Now when it comes to Steer Shit we people
absolutely love it; as we buy it by the bags
full and the truck loads.

However it seems, when it comes to Bull Shit;


NO ONE wants anything to do with it!

So, the question arises; How does one
decipher the good shit, from the bad shit
in the pasture?

Answer: Use your God given
eveplebe-odious
meter!

You say you don't believe in God.

Then use the sense of a good mother!

eveplebe-odious, (e-v-ple-b-o-d-s),
Bull Shit, stinky (very)


Abbreviation; eveplebe

2. CELEBRITIES:
WHY SHOULD WE LISTEN TO THEM?

"WE ARE JUST LIKE YOU"!
David Burn, "American Morning" 030203

We now look to actors, producers, musicians and comedians as being
role models, hopefully good ones.

But in the early times of "these industries", these wre usually just
thought of as; well as just actors, producers, musicians, and comedians!

The times have changed, today there is much more emphasis placed on
their "real life" charactor's; either good or bad, naughty or nice,
giving or greedy.... sometimes they are schmoozed and sometimes
they are butchered and put on ice.

They are; get this, human being's!

The main difference between "they" and "we"; "they" are in the
"limelight" and because of this exposure when they speak, their voice
becomes greatly amplified thereby filling the "HALL" with their noise.

Writers, producers, actors, comedians and musicians realize their power
and use it for one reason or another.; these give "the public" something
to chew on. through their productions many issues have been exposed
and examined; much education and great good has come from
their ventures. However, I am fully aware of the fact, that
"much eveplebeodious" has also been served up!


We put the celebrities on pedestals; we admire them for their works and
now you wish to denude them by asking;
"why should we listen to them" when they say:
NO WAR, NO NUKES, NO BRUTALITY, NO OIL (fuel) and:
YES CLEAN ELECTRIC, YES SOLAR POWER, YES WIND POWER,
YES HYDROGEN POWER, YES TO DIPLOMACY and
YES, PLEASE HELP YOUR FELLOW EARTHLING IN NEED.

These "celebrities" also are "citizens" of "our society" and I think the
real question should be; "why would we not listen to them"?

Maybe by being in the "limelight", some of our celebrities feel a
greater sense of responsibility to help motivate and promote the issues
that"they" earnestly believe in. Maybe they are just people wanting to
assist other people!

When anyone speaks , we should measure their fullness,feel their words
and absorb their compassion just as we also wish to heard and understood.

Shall we wage war on celebrities who wish for peace, prosperity and
longer, better quality of life for others?

Sean Penn' just one man, just one voice!
An idealist? Maybe. A patriot? No doubt. A fool? I think not.
Bono, The Baldwins, Springsteen, Mellencamp, Mr. Cosby, Whoppi,
The Sheens, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore,
The Dixie Chicks, Rosie O Donnel, Brad Pitt and Angelina,
Jane Fonda, as well as a myriad host of others.

These "risk" their careers to exercise "their" mouths right to speak
"their" hearts message.


I sincerely believe it "was not" Jane Fonda's desire to be "unpatriotic"
or "treasoness". simply, it was "her" means to illustrate "her"
compassion and zeal to save lives; lives on both sides of an "ugly war"!

The right to speak ones mind without fear of retribution or demise, is
but one of "our freedoms". However, protection from ridicule is
not promised for speaking ones mind. It is the fear of ridicule that
lashes the tounges of some of us ; I dare say many of us. To those
who fear the ridicule; though the pill may be bitter for a time, perhaps
in some cases a long time; the benefits of your bravery may
tremendously alter the future for the good of many.

SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT, SPEAK ON; WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Surely one needs to intently listen to the hammering on the typani
membrane of "ones" own tounge being ever aware of 'it's' awesome
destuctive power.

How many tears have flowed from our eyes because of the sensitive,
powerful portrayals of humanity, these we call "actors' have given to us?
This is called the understanding of passion.

How much laughter created by these we call "comedians", has been
extracted from our gut, while at the same time illustrating how imperfect
we may be!
this is called genius.

How much light has been shed upon the darkness by documentary"s,
given and shared with us by those we call "producers"?
This is the expression of concern for fellow humans.

Let us not forget our poets, writers and musicians as they speak and
sing of the beautiful and the ugly, the happy and the sad, of love and hate,
of life and death, of then and now and all of the terrible or wonderful
possibilities of what may be.
This is is the expression of understanding and wisdom.

And "YOU" ask the question "why should we listen to them"?!

Oh, to have one of these "famous ones" attend a charity function or
private party at "OUR" request, thereby honoring "US",;

Look who's here with "US", "WE" have a celebrity amongst "US";
Just look at "US" now!

We must certify the real reason we celebrate "these people";
The simple truth, David Burn is quite right; "they are just like us";
Therefore we should treat them as "WE" wish to be treated with
respect,with courtesy, with dignity, with understanding,
with compassion and with kindness.

What more can be said except for maybe, who am I and
why should you listen to me?

I am FranCisco d Nostromo I have spoken and I will speak again.
It's your turn now!

3. MISSION STATEMENT

I'm not seeking
fortune and fame;
I'm just trying to help...
alleviate pain.

The words I speak
are from the doves beak;
always to be true,
though sometimes bleak.

Some of my words may seem
hard like a rock;
still they pass not from
the beak of a hawk.

Very hard I'll try to
help my fellow man;
Tiz against corruption,
strife and hunger,
I will take my stand.

Keep me free from hypocrisy.

FCdN

To the reader,

I have some values and principles; also
some views and opinions.
The latter, I feel need to be heard for
whatever the reasons!

The content of my writing, is more
commentary and fixed in opinion;
and at this time I open myself to your
critique, either pro or con.

I feel compelled to write my heart for
various different reasons, of which two
stand out ahead of others:

1. I am angry as hell at the hypocrisy
I am forced to live under and so too;
my heart is sorely afflicted and full of
the puss of injustice.

2. Being a socially oriented human, I feel an
obligation to my fellow human in this manner;

If any need should arise and if there be
any way I am able to help.......I should do so.

By writing I hope to help expose situations
from "my" point of view and thus
stir up debate.

This debate is intended to help rectify or
correct that which may need
rectification or correction.

I do not claim to be grossly illiterate nor
do I claim to be well educated.

You will find much of my work is not dated,
however the issues themselves may interpret
the time of script.

Much of my work has been previously written;
sometimes many years prior to publishing.

My writing skills at best, are obviously minimal
and I wish you to please overlook my
grammatical errors; however
feel free to (as I know you will) trounce me
for what I believe and purport to be.


By the way, being perfect is not something
I purport to be.

As I sit and consider these words that I
have spoken; I begin to ponder a space full
of a thick, pasty substance matter known as
hypocrisy.

As I stare into the mirror of "my history" ,
I intently study my past works of
dissent against the truth.

These unjust works brightly glare back at me
as a hot flaming fire.

It is when I gaze at these revealing images,
that I become singed, stunned and transfixed
by "my" errors.

How selfish and arrogant I was.

"for in me lies no good thing" someone once said!

It is by this realization I conclude;
that I am not worthy to speak "for the people".

Therefore I will speak "for myself" with hopes,
that if any "goodness or prosperity of spirit"
come of it, that I would feel more whole as
a social human being, by being able to share
that which I have been given.

I do my best to defeat EGO and can only hope
that somewhere, somehow, I didn't get
blindsided and I am actually feeding a monster,
rather than keeping it at bay.

That would be "pretty lost" huh!

I believe my compulsion to write is more
driven by my intent to assist, rather than my
need to vent my admitted frustrations.

With this being stated, I consider the time I
spend writing as being sacrificed, rather
than stolen; even though the time spent writing
could be spent enjoying my true passions in life.

I feel my obligation to my fellow human
is more
important than any other passion
and therefore,

I must or should act accordingly.

As a only one voice of a great choir, I pray that
your eyes be opened and that you not only
see the truth, but also accept it.

You might pray for me,
that I hold true to my faith.

I am FranCisco d Nostromo
I have spoken and I will speak again.
It's your turn now!
