All justices concur in landmark ruling

From Washington Blade staff and wire reports | Apr 3, 8:50 AM

In an historic ruling, justices in the Iowa Supreme Court on Friday unanimously granted marriage rights to gay couples living in the state.

The decision is the fourth time that a state Supreme Court has determination that a state constitution should marriage rights to gay couples living in the state. Same-sex marriage was previously available in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and briefly in California.

In the opinion, justices determined the statutory ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional because Polk County “has been unable to identify a constitutionally adequate justification for excluding plaintiffs from the institution of civil marriage.

two suns in the sunset

in my rear view mirror
the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and i think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and i suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come
the rusty wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way and suddenly it's day again
the sun is in the east
even though the day is done
two suns in the sunset
could be the human race is run
like the moment when the brakes lock
and you slide towards the big truck
you stretch the frozen moments with your fear
and you'll never hear their voices
and you'll never hear their faces
you have no recourse to the law anymore
and as the windshield melts
and my tears evaporate
leaving only charcoal to defend
finally i understand the feelings of the few
ashes and diamonds
foe and friend
we were all equal
in the end

two suns in the sunset

you've gotta be crazy, gotta have a real need,
got to sleep on your toes when you're on the street,
got to be able to pick out the easy meat, with your eyes closed,
and then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
you gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

and after a while, you can work on points for style,
like the club tie, the firm handshake, a certain look in the eye, and an easy smile,
you have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
so that when they turn their backs on you,
you'll get the chance to put the knife in.

you gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder,
you know it's going to get harder, and harder and harder as you get older.
and in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
hide your head in the sand,
just another sad old man,
all alone and dying of cancer.

and when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
and as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
and it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around.
so have a good drown, as you go down, alone,
dragged down by the stone.

i gotta admit i'm a little bit confused.
sometimes it seems to me as if i'm just being used.
gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise.
if i don't stand my own ground, how can i find my way out of this maze?

deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending,
that everyone's expendable and no one has a real friend,
and it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner,
and every thing's done under the sun,
and you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream.
wave upon wave of demented avengers
march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

have you heard the news?
the dogs are dead!
you better stay home
and do as you're told,
get out of the road if you want to grow old.

pigs on the wing (part two)

you know that i care what happens to you,
and i know that you care for me,
so i don't feel alone,
or the weight of the stone,
now that i've found somewhere safe
to bury my bone,
and any fool knows a dog needs a home,
a shelter from pigs on the wing.

to kill the child

TO KILL THE CHILD

The child lay
In the starlit night
Safe in the glow of his Donald Duck light
How strange to choose to end a life
How strange to choose to kill a child
Hoover, Blaupunkt, Nissan Jeep
Nike, Addidas, Lacoste and cheaper brands
Cadillac, Amtrak, gasoline, diesel
Our standard of living, could this be a reason
That we would choose to kill the child
That we would choose to kill the child

Allah, Jehovah, Buddah and Christ
Confucius and Kali and reds, beans and rice
Goujons of sole, ris de veau, ham hocks
Lox bagels and bones
and commandments in stone
The Bible, Koran, Shinto, Islam
Prosciutto, risotto, falafel and ham
Is it dogma, doughnuts, ridicule faith
Fear of the dark, or shame or disgrace
That we would choose to kill the child
That we would choose to kill the child

It's cold in the desert
And the space is too big
The rope is too short
And the walls are too thick
I will show you no weakness
I will mock you in song
Berate and deride you
Belittle and chide you
Beat you with sticks
And bulldoze your home
You can watch
my triumphant procession to Rome
Best seat in the house
Up there on the cross
Is it anger or envy, profit or loss
That we would choose to kill the child
That we would choose to kill the child

Take this child and hold him closely
Keep him safe from the holy reign of terror
Take this child and hold him closely
Take this child to the moral high ground
Where he can look down on the bigots
and bully boys
Slugging it out in the yard
