toxic fence

------------------------------------------------------------------
   dont fight’em 
run’em 

  what is this 
something like   part three or four 
of the terror game 
  butler style

who cares we’re havin’ fun
 



 so rule 13 

 some evil  violators are beyond
what I once  heard an old black man 
 call “ ordinary copatation”

 i was a cop once myself 
 back in philly
 I know 

it was the twenties 
 one word tells the story  
prohibition

  a pale ancestor of  todays drug game

  back then we tried stopping man
from his oldest and  most sacred mission
 getting  wasted

ofcourse  by then 
  all the amputee dope adicts
 created by the civil war 
  were dead

 so improving the trash 
 was a simple problem 
abolish   spirited drink

hence the volstad act
 
 yes sir no booze allowed
  
 “god bless America
 the country’s gone   dry 
boys  lets drink to it”  

 well  that sure proved to be 
some lace cuff  foolishness 
 
good intentions gone haywire 

 that story’s  got more american sequels
  then anything this side of a lynch mob



started out to be
 a factory  workers rehab thing
 
as i understand it 
early on the satanic mills 
were real fire water    dens
 the boys and girls 
 would take a snoot full 
right there in the midst of 
 laboro dilecto

despite the happy notions
this may conger
 in contemporary minds 

it was a serious concern
 way back then
what with all the mangled  appendages
and ensuing  machine stoppages

 not to mention the  black eyed foremen

after a couple worsening decades of this 
    the boss man was convinced
a hard days work and a  day’s   hard drinking
 were a bad mix
 
so they let the wives step in to help out
 
 at first they tried some substitutioning

 in the 1840’s  they invented the thrice  daily coffee cult
  
and they claim that slowed  the booze tide
         till night brake anyways 

    but that weren’t near enough 

as they say in the ozarks 

 so  the parlor crusaders
went for the brass ring

complete  prohibition

 like smoking today and ethnic jokes
   
well they finally got their way 
after 80 years of catterwauling

and it was so against the grain
 it  caused there to develop  
 a crime element 
 in Philli  that   laws like me
  couldn’t remove with  battery acid 

  in fact by the time i hit the mean streets
 the big   booze rings were  so set up
 what between the strength of   private  desire
 and the ease of  public  corruption 
  i didn’t have a chinamans chance 

even with a big eared crusading cophound
like me leading the charge
 the play was bound to  flop

hell I’d busted more tinpot issimos 
then any man alive 

but street booze 
 no dice couldn’t get it 
turned off 
hell the hydrants probably 
dispensed the sttuff 

for parallels 
 check out the war on drugs 
 sir and madam
 
 I did no better
 against high proof beverages
 then those rubber headed pelicans 
are doing on drugs
today

 only difference
 I came a damn site cheaper
and I admitted when I was licked

 looking back on it 
 id rather chase flying sharks
with a hair net then try a fools mission
like that again

dont believe those old black and white  movies
 on cable 
 all that “ Ness moves in”   bizness 

trucks with cowcatchers 
plowing thru warehouse gates

 axes flying 
 busted up kegs and 
 rivers of foaming brew

  hell pure theatre

we never put a dent in ‘em
  
god forsaken sawdust 
we straight shooters
we were 
a  price maintenance mechanism

 no more
 no worse

 we probably
 were working for joe kennedy
the whole time 
 we were just to dumb to know it

 i learned a few things though

 if the people want something
 they’ll get it 
  
golden  contraband 
swims in a  sea of desire

 
to win 
 you got to joy them 

 you cant lick ‘em 
till you supply em
  


thats where
 this terror stuff comes in to it 

 listen as long as corporate billy’s
 going down 
on the globe’s ripest 
  bottoms

then   out there 
on the unwashed streets  
 theres  going to be a craving
for terror like  there is for  smack

  so pastor  get use to it

  
 now we come to my point 
the WMDs these chaps are brandishing 
  they should be from the proper source
all of them the proper source
 I ‘VE made the point
 briefly before 

but here
you can  meet
 it face to face 

its up to 
 your
uncle hedge 

yes your uncle hedge 

 Emperor Sam ‘s 
got to   join ‘em 

hell absorb ‘em

thats right IM suggesting the big dogs 
 take the market 
in terror toys right  away
 from them 
small fry middle distance runners

  dont just huff and puff
  hell take it over lock and stock 

 monopolize it

how  much more simple
could it get  
under price the suckers
 and 
once the gigs all Uncles 

why hell
He  can see to it 
 those little stinkers shoot
the damn things off 
just exactly   where He wants
 and when He wants
and at
who He  wants

  or close enough anyway  
 

the langley spooks 
 know just what
 Uncle  needs
to apply to this Issue 


a little 
  GSE magic  

 YES   GSE

 government G 
sponsored  S
 enterprises E’s

  remember a few months ago 
 in a moment of gathering mania
 i proposed we turn
 the entire us  armed forces
 into such things 

maybe I didnt use the term 
but thats what i figured on

 four or five well  armed 
GSEs

   all living on minimum 
public subsidy

SO  how about
 the terror weapon trade
 its a natural 

 where do you draw the line anyway

 I CAN HEAR 
THE BELT WAY  PITCH NOW 

“   lets make the bundle 
Uncle.........
 
why don’t we try 
 serving these tax payers
 that put us up here........

 hell its all  
  plausibly deniable......

anyway we’ll bury the 
money trail next to Hoffa..........

SHIT SIR 
we can start building 
 them up every where .....

 with one unseen hand 
we build 

while the visible hand 
 fires forth to knock em down


  make the profit ourselves
 then nab the loo loos red handed

  we  know how to make
stuff like that  
      and better too 
 not  
  that  fu manchu mojo 
we  keep reading about
 in the funny papers

we’re  talking
    space age substances  ”

not hard to imagine is it 


I  got another point
 and this one starts with
  a simple question 
for all you experts out there

knowing the real low down
   why do strong and sensible  men
like count Cheney and the new Donald
  even raise the issue in the first place

knowing the WMDs cant be stopped
  
 i know  you know the answer 

but  for 
the one quarter witted
   sand man 
out there 
who claims he doesn’t  

now read my lips pard

PRETEXT 

  yes
 pretext
 that sadistic  mothers little helper
 pretext

when we get ourselves 
appointed world sheriff
 you’ll see this on a regular basis

last time i mentioned human rights
well thats always your sunday punch

but these WMD s
 have a fine supplemental use

REMEMBER 
URGENCY 

urgency 
the old 
do it now or else 
  gimmick

  JFK had  just about the greatest pretext 
of the american century handed to him back in 62

with those missiles in Cuba 
 course typical of him 
he turned a walk over
 into a sudden death
 over time near draw
  because he tried to see
 his kisser  in histories mirror 
the whole time 
instead of keeping his 
 eye on the ball

but thats another story

--------------------------------------------------------
well here’s one more 
I’m feeling gospelish tonite 


 rule 6

 learn to jump 
at opportunities
 
 heres a reason to bust into anywhere
  claim theres a  dangerous spreading 
nest of weapons labs
right  under the nose of some
   sovereign creep
 the good people at 
 AMALGAMATED PROFITS
       want to roll
  yep 
 see the emergency 

  you dont  

 well   I do 
   bam bam thank you mam

starting to catch my drift 

we  make this stuff show up
like visa cards 

everywhere we want to go

keep it simple 
use the old 2 stepper 

 step one 
kill lots of innocent locals 
then
 step  two 
fly in to the rescue 

   why waste words

 look at iraq
what a disgrace 

we’re back to the human liberation tack
there aren’t we

cause those labs and stockpiles
 are   gone aren’t they

gone  like a fart in a wind storm

they’re
   elsewhere mr rabbit 
 
 my proposal 
 next time
 pull a two cushion job 

   use it as a threat

bounce the alleged WMD s 
 off some lame push over country A 
right into the soft and silly  lap
of  country B

B  for boodle  

a place like iraq actually 
  worth the jet fuel
to go and fetch it  
its called hot pursuit 

 see the dangle of the  angle


follow the weapons across borders

   chase the bouncing poison ball 
 around the global like a spaniel 

 when you’re only looking to shake down
  throw the moving  lab bizness at them

“ hot pursuit
 leads right to your palazzo 
 presidente coconut
that is unless.......”

get me sailors 


    make the raids lightning fast
 special ops jobs 
you report on afterwards
 
“yes mr secretary they were making a bomb
 a big bomb ya a hydrogen bomb ya thats right hyyydrogen”

“we found these framus casings and gingis tubes 
and more important this nitrious satchamo sauce”

 “  yep madam secretary  we followed
the tire tracks best we could 
till they disappeared across the border into
Upper  Goldonia ”
  
 “yep h-bomb stuff alright 
just like we told you it was  
when you granted  the search  permit ”

 and remember comrades
 the beauty ofall this ugly stuff 

if our boys are   after baby burners 
 and  suicidal psychos
  they can do no wrong 

 everyone admits 9/11
 washed what little was left
 of   Vietnam syndrome 
 right out  the cellar door 

takes a syndrome 
to end a syndrome 

this here is the 9/11 syndrome 

its plain human nature
people will tolerate anything to get even

 manhole jesus 
don’t you love  this terror thing 



 domestic applications?

  hell i figure since maybe  225,000 tons of illegal human flesh 
slides over the rio grande every year whats 
  to keep out a ton or two of WMD materials

 but thats another post 


 I NEED TO REST
