Marching Again

After sixty years of involvement in social justice, environmental struggle, I realize I've worn out many pairs of shoes.

I'm marching again, and my feet hurt like hell
But I just can't sit still, count up the kill and then pay for the bill
So I'm marching again
And where is this war?
And what is it for?
And how many more must die?
So I'm marching again?
I wore out my Keds for Korea,
My Adidas I lost over 'Nam,
My Nike no likee Gulf War Number 1,
I lost my New Balance over Saddam,

So I'm marching again
Aches, pains and all
I guess I'll march 'til I die
And in heaven I'll cry
Long Live Occupy.

Keep marching!

MY PRAYER FOR TORONTO

i pray for my city . that by the end of this day
as we choose our new mayor,let our hearts lead the way
may we vote our convictions , not led by fear
guided by hope, beyond all our despair
our city needs all the light we can give
let us share our belief for this place that we live
Toronto our name it means meeting place
a beacon of hope for the whole human race
more than 200 nations have come to this land
builders of dreams by thought and by hand
let our minds come together to bless the mayor to be
may he be guided by love and humility
may respect for each other be the clarion call
new inspiration pervade city hall
so as you go forth to cast your sacred vote
my blessings to you,and thats all she wrote

The Gomberg Effect!

Weird, or what? Every time Gomberg appears at one of the
Mayoral gatherings, one of the frontrunner candidates disappears.

Several months ago, Gomberg appeared at the Trinity-St.Paul debate. Gomberg sat in Smitherman’s place, as Smitherman was away in China. After his opening statement, then-candidate Giorgio Mammoliti responded: “How am I supposed to follow that?” The next week, he quit the race.

Two weeks ago in Scarborough, Gomberg made an appearance, and Sarah Thompson disappeared.

Last week, at the CBC debates, Rocco Rossi was asked “If not you, who should people vote for?” He responded “Howard Gomberg,” and then he disappeared.

Gomberg says “With time running out, if you give me the opportunity I can still get rid of some of the remaining candidates. Otherwise we are faced with a choice between the terrible, the horrible, and the inconsequential.”

When asked “Who will win the race?” Gomberg responded “I don’t know, but I know who will lose. You, me, and the rest of the city.”

Gomberg has just finished taping an interview with CBC Montreal, the InfoMan program. They are concerned that the madness that has gripped Toronto might be infectious.

THE MYTH OF DEMOCRACY

to the media mavens you know not what you've done
you have caused this disaster and when all's said and done
one will be winner whilst the rest of us lose
you made the choice that we had to chose
between the serpent the cyclops and the cute little prince
you have the chutspa and try to convince
there were none better ? no other choice?
no better vision ?no eloquent voice?
you made the decision right from the start
who'll be the front runner, who wont play a part
you determined for us for whom we should vote
jamming your candidates down all of our throats
and now it's too late the thought makes me cringe
you have crowned one of them and called us the fringe
i weep for toronto, but we will endure
you are forgiven, now go sin no more

CAUTION FEAR VOTE

friends, citizens,voters, lend me your ear
do not succumb to the mongers of fear
the media tells us we are wasting our vote
unless we choose the ones they shoved down our throat
we are forced to accept which evil is less
the terrible or horrible oy what a mess
but there are other choices other voices to hear
the only votes that are wasted, are the votes cast in fear
so i say unto you,when you enter that booth
cast your vote for a much higher truth
weather or not you vote for me
pray for the winner whoever it be
