We should start by allowing drilling in Alaska's National Wildlife Refuge. It can provide billions of barrels of recoverable oil and trillions of cubic feet of recoverable natural gas.

Ed, we just witnessed a peaceful transition in government. Do you realize how miraculous that is...Today, tiny Cicely, Alaska, stood up and put another W in the win category for democracy.

In one line of his poem he said good fences make good neighbors. I'd like to think that Alaska and British Columbia working together can prove that we can be pretty darned good neighbors without fences.

We can get more energy out of the north slope of Alaska; we have available the ability to make ourselves less dependent on those uncertain sources of supply from the Middle East. And it's important we do that.

Grey Ice Water

Yer standing by yer grey ice water
Out in the wind above ground out in the weather
You had yerself a crazy lover
Becoming frozen trying hard to forget her
You got a job up in alaska
Its easy to save what the cannery pays
Cause there aint no way to spend it
At home on a boat, its a fish trap
You took the path of least resistance
On the phone cutting out talking
Short to long distance
Yer standing by yer grey ice water
Out in the wind above ground out in the water
You had yerself a crazy lover
Become unfrozen trying hard to forget her
You got a job up in alaska
Its easy to save what the cannery pays
Cause there aint no way to spend it
On the arctic blast (x7)

The Legend

From the sofa I saw sweet Muffin
Naked on mirror
So raw of meats
Emits…
Wet market scents
Animal’s magnetism attracts
Desire drips onto guilty floor
Saliva crawls purging the urge
Oh heavenly piece…
Shall I do the squatting?
Scrutinizing the pearl of
Alaskan breed so silken…
Ooooops…there you are
Crystal clear eggs flowing…
I’ve not done anything yet…
Intimacy tells the tale
The legendary flow…
Your authentic love!
I’m amazed!

Excuse Me

Excuse me
Youre wearing out my joie de vie
Grabbing those good years again
I want to be alone
Excuse me
Im not the man I used to be
Someone else crept in again
I want to be alone. . .
Excuse me please
Im looking for lost angeles
Soaking up the sin again
I want to be alone. . .
You got the money back, thats okay
Who needs a cadillac anyway
I got the medicine, make you see the light
Call me in alaska if it all turns out right
Excuse me please
Youre standing on my memories
Stealing souvenirs again
I want to be alone

Far Alaska

Placing people in their dreamscape
With fantasies of foreign fields
Lofty spires all well appointed
In off-season special deals.
To far alaska: down to ria in the carnival
Norwegian fjords in the ever-light of solstice call
A part of me might travel with you
In a freebie bucket seat for one
Business first - at last, forever
Hopeless thoughts of flying fun
Now get me out of here I cry in air rage psycho-doom
Im only dream-arranging from the safety of my room
Pick a place or stcik a pin in
Any corner of the sphere
Post me cards and tell me nicely
Say you wish that I was here
To far alaska: down to rio in the carnival
Norwegian fjords in the ever-light of solstice call

My Elusive Dreams

You followed me to Texas.
You followed me to Utah.
We didn't find it there,
So we moved on.

You went with me to Alabam,
And things looked good in Birmingham.
We didn't find it there,
So, we moved on.

I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes!
For they're only fleeting things'
My elusive dreams.

You had my child in Memphis.
Then I heard of work in Nashville.
But we didn't find it there,
So we moved on'

Tall Treasures

Golden rings and hair tied with ribbon
Early spring when winters forgiven
Laughing past pleasures warm by the fire
Come inside
Silver vase, take a drink flower petal
Whistling songs like steam from the kettle
Carry silence like driftwood that rides
On the tide, on the tide, on the tide
Tall treasures, large as alaska
There forever, never put out to pasture
Then the night will fall
Bringing peace to all
Darkness there together
Soft light bells and tea, draw the curtain
China cups, some shatter for certain
Laughin past pleasures warm by the fire
Come inside
Tall treasures, large as alaska
There forever, never put out to pasture
Red river runs here beside us

To See America Work

To see America work
Is an energizing thing
A woman from Alaska
As a back up for her king.

A man of color
Reaching for the ring
The beauty of multiple dimensions
Making hearts of many sing.

Yes, to see America work
Is a glorious thing.

The Great Spirit Echoes

The dreams of the immigrant
the hopes of the native

when the sweat meets the soil
the dollar the hands of the needy

the dance of waves upon Chilean shores
the fires still kindling upon the reservations
the African rivers the Alaskan Storms
the heights of New Zealand the Amazonian basins
the mist above the hills
the lone lotus in the forest
the sacred rituals the sexual release
electricity of the city

through all life
channeling from coast to coast

the long sigh of the buffalo's ghost
the great spirit echoes

Oil Replaces Gold Standard

(Essay)

“Oil is the new gold standard. As international community becomes more oil dependent the closer mankind moves to global fascism.”
ROTMS

Securing all known oil reserves is the goal/long term plan of the United States, Britain and other conspirators. This gives them control over extraction, distribution and pricing.

“Peak oil” is a myth created to instill fear and create panic. There’s enough oil in Alaska alone to furnish the needs of the United States for more than enough time to develop alternate energy. The exploration, mapping, drilling and capping of oil wells on Gull Island located in the waters of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska is well known. The by-product of the Alaskan oil wells is an abundance of natural gas, indeed enough to supply heating needs in the U.S. for a very long time. The current administration dare not open this vast oil/natural gas reserve, lest their long term plans be spoiled.

In order to accomplish a global monopoly the conspirators must eliminate rogue producer/competitors like Iran, Venezuela and Russia. To this end, Bush-Cheney are currently pressing hard to start a war with Iran, by any means including lies and false accusations. They’re acutely aware that Iranian oil production readies to sell their oil for currencies other than the U.S. dollar. This could dramatically lower the price of gas at the pump and devastate the U.S. economy.

You may ask why/how could lower prices be harmful to the U.S. economy.
The simple truth resides in the deals cut with Saudi Arabia and other world oil producers by the USA. Indeed, the written and unwritten agreements that guarantee producers fabulous wealth, as long as they sell oil for dollars. The principal reason why Bush invaded Iraq was to curtail Hussein’s threat to sell oil for Euros. He’d still be in power today had he played ball with U.S. handlers.

As the largest oil producer in the world Saudi Arabia represents a classic example of how “One hand washes the other”. Big oil companies develop the oil fields and supervise extraction, Wall Street banking middlemen set oil barrel prices for dollars and collect huge profits, then as agreed Saudis plow their profits into the U.S. to help pay off debt. Should this delicate balance be disturbed, U.S. economic collapse would ensue. Now plug this scenario into other world producers and the conspiracy is exposed.

As it stands today, high prices at the gas pump are servicing national debt by we the consumers. To make things worse, offshore hedge funds are manipulating oil futures by speculating on the rise and fall of price of a barrel of oil, thus adding to volatility.

Planning and common sense have been thrown out the window for global control and profit…what follows is global fascism and “New World Order”.

But again, you know, the views that we've expressed are transferring power back from the federal government to the states, giving Alaska an incredible opportunity to expand its economy, especially at a time when our federal government is coming close to bankruptcy.So that is a broad-based appeal. It's not an extreme view.

A Song For All Lovers

This song was first released on the the wildlife concert album. it is the only album it has been released on.
I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight
Somewhere in alaska, somewhere in the sun
I hear them singing a song for all lovers
A song for the two hearts beating only as one
Imagine the morning no longer alone
The arms of another, a place to belong
No longer the struggle, no longer the night
And ever becoming in the quickening light
To see the darkness, to listen within
To answer in kindness, to ever begin
To ever be gentle, to always be strong
To walk in the wonder, to live in the song
In a place of enchantment where the wild things are known
Will the future remember when the lovers are gone?
And I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight
Somewhere in alaska, somewhere in the sun
I hear them singing a song for all lovers
A song for the two hearts beating only as one
A song for the two hearts beating only as one

Wildness. We're running out of it, even up in Alaska. People need to be reminded that the world is unsafe and unpredictable, and at a moment's notice, they could lose everything, like that. I do it to remind them that chaos is always out there, lurking beyond the horizon. That, plus, sometimes you have to do something bad, just to know you're alive.

Oceanic Humour

Oceanic Humour?

Does a sardine play
Hide and seek with another fish
And laugh about it?

Does a lobster joust
With a big Alaska crab
Just for amusement?

Wit on the sea’s floor
Giggling eels on Dogger bank
Slippery gayety?

Can a tiger shark
Tell another shark a story
That has a fun bite?

Are ocean’s beings
As stern as the old Talibans

I Aint Been 'Right' Since

Just throw me any compliment you wish,
With superlatives dripping with adverbs and adjectives.
And don't forget that 'ego' written all over my forehead.
Be sure not to miss that.
That wants to be massaged.

I'm telling you...
Just how 'shallow' is my deepness?

Don't get me wrong...
I am tremendously grateful I am blessed,
But...
Comeon!
I guess some people perceive my head,
To be as big as...
Alaska or Texas.

I'd be stuck on 'uh' if it was.

I just do what I know I do.

Battle of Will & Exhaustion, Mother & Child

Two knights surrounded by dinosaurs
are cornered in the kitchen--all threat and bluster.
Action figures always act
even as night tries to soothe them under.

I am the one who laid a nervous hand
on a child's exhausted threat and bluster.
The bunk bed creaks as the story settles,
as night's cool hand tries to soothe us. Under

a Seussian drone I am thinking, anxious,
about someone with a nervous hand.
Will he sleep? Will he sleep? When will he sleep?
The bunk bed creaks as the shipboard settles.

What is the myth of a woman alone
who's thinking through Seuss? Her thoughts are drones
serving a terrible queen of their own.
Can she sleep? Will she sleep? When will she sleep?

Like The Basin Of The Yukon River

I am in love with your sweet muse,
And like the basin of the Yukon River in Alaska! !
But, another man came for you when i was ready to marry you.

Eventually,
Of the founder,
To the general public!
And, as described;
From the obscurity of things around us like the supply of water,
And, i gave up everything in my life because of you! !
But, you finally gave yourself into the hands of another man.
