Here is an essay Sam Palmisano wrote to the Fincial Times. And below is my response. But quickly, it’s an interesting essay on Globalization, and the direction it will, should, and is taking. I admit that I come to read this essay with a bit of skepticisim I reserve for anyone in a post of power – especially those in the corporate power posts as this seems to be our new government, which seriously irks me, for lack of a better verb.

Just when you thought it was Safe
Random attacks of peace and tranquility {slice/splice/(may i have more rice?) love} is it enough to be able to weed the thoughts from the shots where everything in my brain bleeds? (what are your misdeeds?) I’m confounded by the sugar pourer and the stares from the men behind rifles. recycling words and phrases until originators … Read moreJust when you thought it was Safe

Army Surplus
How many playgrounds
will you give me for this tank?
I’ve got a helicopter with cannons
for a school on a river bank.
We’ve got a lot of bullets
and a bunch of useless bombs;
Can I trade these in
to help out some single moms?
I can’t really think
of a time that I’d need
a machine gun to kill
a thousand, indeed.
perhaps you could take
all this extra stuff,
and instead give the homeless
a life less gruff.
perhaps we could send
130,000 troops
into New York to feed
the hungry on their stoops.
With this much extra,
why stop there?
We could be feeding
everyone, everywhere!
And imagine all the children
playing with their toys,
rather than them screaming
from the bombing’s noise.
If all of that is not enough,
I’ve got a nuclear submarine
to put up to auction
for the American Dream.

Barflies
Goddamn useless whores seem to permeate the skin of a decent bar like your fingers get waterlogged and pruny when they’ve been wet too long. Those whores really take away from a decent drinking experience.
