I give this week's column over to some local journalist
who wrote up the Dixie Chicks concert the other night.
'' 9:32:56 p.m. "Some of the band took a day trip today
and went by Jeffrey Dahmer's old house. Such wonderful
sightseeing opportunities here in Milwaukee," says
Martie by way of introducing a Brady Bunch-themed
clip on the Chicks' back-up band. Mock the Bradys
all you like, Chicks, but easy on the Milwaukee
stereotypes and old wounds. Now, mention Laverne
and Shirley and them's fightin' words! ''

Personal note: I heard of you as a print or e-zine
publisher who works with Poetry and I am hopeful
that through your contacts you will know of someone
who would like to work on the very special project
below. I feel that it will raise interest and awareness
in all Poetry.
A short explaination is below and your input is being
very looked forward to.
Donald
I bring you today a true work which will attract the
attention of millions, carries the ultimate in credibility,
and is already receiving support and top reviews Worldwide.
"Many, But One" was written and fully U.S. copyrighted
4 years prior to the World changing 9-11-01 attacks on the
U.S. but has now been found to contain shocking and chilling
messages and warnings( very similar to Nostradamus) directly
connected to 9-11 and wars to follow "encoded" (similar to
the popular "Bible Codes") into the actual text. These are
not predictions made by the author...but actual chilling
messages hidden in the text.
This collection of Poetry written , by a multi-award
winning author , for the purpose of crossing all beliefs
and religions to open the eyes of the World in an
entertaining way has now been found to be MUCH more.
Two of the messages directly relate to the actual
numbers of the flights involved in 9-11 and here are 2
sample "encoded" messages that have been found thus far :
NAMELESS ARE YOURSELF AND BE NOT PREY
3 PICTURE UNRELENTING MAKE EVIL TO VIEW
The poem "11" (one of only 4 ever written by the
author titled by number only) chillingly speaks of our
worst nightmare coming true and embodies the fear and
helplessness of 9-"11". The author vividly recalls the
fear he felt as he "channeled" the work and was compelled
to title it "11".
It is felt that 9-11 began a new era in history and
the messages of the work begin in the Table of Contents.
The first work in the collection, geared toward personal
and World betterment, contains the direct "encoded"
message TO REACH THE WORLD AT THIS LONGER BELIEVE.
This is now the sworn mission of the author and the
"Many, But One" project. To see that this work reaches
and touches as wide an audience as possible.
Please allow me to send the in-depth explanations,
bio, credits and awards list, etc. and telling of the
authors other experiences that lead to this point.
I hope you will join with the author, the "Many,
But One" project, and the many waiting to see it widely
published on what promises to be an uplifting and profitable
(a portion to go to 9-11 and terrorism victims) journey.
Wishing you many blessings,
Donald E. Ryles
....................
Not connected to the work , but an example of how numbers
have played a strong part in the authors life:
He was born May 29 th, 1965. His father passed away
May 29 th, 1989 (on his birthday). His father had been 29
years old at the time of the authors' birth and his parents
had been married 29 years at the time of his fathers passing.

Dear Editor:
I am honored to submit new poems for your consideration.
Snail mail submissions are impossible because of high
postage costs and handling problems, as they often
reach editors almost torn to pieces! Our living standards
differ drastically: pensions here usually don’t exceed 50$,
monthly salaries 100$. In 1998-99, things were thrice worse!

THE RUSSIAN GRINDSTONE.
A requiem mass
is being solemnly sung
for both slaves and their masters.
A glamorous grindstone
was wisely put up by the dictators
to grind the souls of the nation
to the state of cutting-edge obedience.
The grinning grinders, the dictators,
used to sharpen their knives
for the whole ugly set
of the obsequious, the begging,
and the deaf and mute.
The sheepish flock of grassroots slaves
shouldering up, and often willingly,
this grand embodiment of self-imposed grief,
have never risked relinquishing
their mortal grasp of it
and letting this grindstone of despair
fall out of their emaciated hands
and tumble down on the barren land
of gasping, ungainly, gallows generations
of slaves chained up to this
monument of disgrace.
Since that ghoulish day of 1917
when the blood-gilded grindstone was built,
it has impressed the ominous shadow
of its irresistibly glorious bulk
on the generations crouching under
and vainly trying to breathe in
the angled light of freedom,
after decades of glaring anguish,
after decades of lashing pain.
Years have passed
in the indifferent lapse of time.
The grindstone of oppression
once so proudly perched upon
the bowed-down necks of serfs
poisoned by an evasive freedom,
now threatens to fall down on their heads.
This tomb of a grindstone
is no longer kept up by the chains
of its up-seated senile masters
whose sharpened knives are now falling
from their weakened, worn-out, withered hands
desperately longing for fresh blood.
Slaves underneath
are caught up in a stampede
to pick up the fallen knives
of magic sharpness
and apply them to the masters
who are already dead.
The slaves do not see the tumbling grindstone
that is to bury them all
under its common tomb,
both slaves and their masters.

Albeit inside the shop

Telling everyone that this town
Has techie type places too.
Too bad there's too little time.

And the bed she kept against a tree.

REHNQUIST STEPS DOWN, TAKES JOB AT NYTIMES
Washington, June 5 - (PAWN) - After two years as
inspector general of Health and Human Services,
Janet Rehnquist has brought so much credibility,
trust and love to both Tommy Thompson, and the
entire department, she decided it was best for
all involved that she leave on a good note and
take her good vibes where they're most needed.
After a wedding ceremony at George W Bush's
rose garden Miss Rehnquist and Colin Powell's
son Michael will have a reception at 229 W 43d
Street. Miss Rehnquist, daughter of William,
mother of Janet Reno and neice of Clarence
Thomas and Tipper Gore, will immediately replace
Gerald M Boyd as managing editor of the Times.
Her husband, Mr. Powell, will be the new owner
of the paper just as soon as the AOLClearTimes-
WarnerChannelOneLambertPharmacia merger is complete.
I'VE GOT IT -
Christo and Jeanne-Claude should rebuild the Twin
Towers out of duct tape.

IN PRAISE OF FATHERHOOD
for Father's Day 2003
Johann Christoph Arnold
Mother's Day is over, and Father's Day is just around the corner.
For some reason, it is easier to write a positive article about
mothers than about fathers. May the time come when this is reversed!
One of the oldest pieces of advice for families is the Fifth
Commandment of Moses: "Honor your father and your mother,"
which continues, "that your days may be long in the land..."
This is the only one of the Ten Commandments that includes
a blessing and a promise. And we know it is not an empty one:
whenever and wherever families are knit together by mutual
love, honor, and respect, things go well for them.
When a family is formed and children are brought into the world,
their emotional stability depends on the father's recognition of
his duty to lead his family and take primary responsibility for
their well-being. The greatest gift a child can have is a father
who loves and respects the mother and does not tolerate
disobedience or disrespect on the part of their children.
In our confused society, children need this living example
of a true husband and father.
The goal of education should never be to make our sons smart
and successful in the eyes of the world. Rather, we should
teach them to become good husbands and fathers--a goal the
great Cuban poet José Martí once called "the greatest aim
in education." Young men who become true fathers will influence
and change the lives of countless people, because true fatherhood
does not only mean being a father to one's own children. They can
be fathers to all children around them, especially to those who
grow up in single parent homes, or those whose fathers are in
some way absent from their day-to-day lives.
Unbelievable as it seems, more than half of the world's children
are estimated to spend at least part of their childhood without
a father in the home. Never before have so many men abandoned
their wives and children. Because of this, fatherhood is
actually a duty that ought to be entrusted to every male,
whether or not he has children of his own.
I have been married almost forty years now, and my wife and
I have eight children. Looking back, I can see many times
when I was not a good father, even though I always wanted
to be one. Having grandchildren and being in contact with
many other children gives me a chance now to make up for
lost time.
One person who always inspired me was Delf, a teacher who
later became a close friend. Delf accidentally killed his
own son by backing a truck over him. After this tragedy,
Delf spent the rest of his life being a father to other
boys--including me. Then there is my friend, Steven McDonald,
a former New York City detective, who was shot seven months
before his son was born. Now a quadriplegic, he has never been
able to play ball with his son, or hold him, or hug him. Yet
Steven insists on attending every game at school, picking his
son up and taking him to school as often as possible, even though
he himself has to be driven.
Steven is a better father than many fit ones. He also travels
and speaks to elementary and high school students, providing
leadership and inspiration to thousands of young people. Over
the years I have known and met many others--coaches, teachers,
mentors, and others who were, like Steven, an important (if not
the only) father figure to the children around them.
Children hunger for masculine role models whom they can trust
and admire. And humility and love go a long way toward earning
admiration. A good father is willing to make mistakes, to learn
from them, and even apologize for them; his aim is never to
prove himself, but to make life a little more joyful for everyone
with whom he comes into contact.
Thankfully I had a good father and a good mother. Even if
during my childhood my father was away a lot, I always
knew he loved me. He also set firm boundaries and demanded
that we children love and respect our mother. Because of
the security he gave us, we adored our father, and believed
he could do anything.
Perhaps the biggest problem with today's fathers is that
they are afraid to be real men. By "real" I do not mean
macho. To me, a true father has something of a mother in
him--something tender. He will also be selfless, focused,
ready to provide leadership, and eager to go to bat for those
in his care. Think of the problems that could be solved if
men gave as much love and time to their wives and children
as they do to following sports, or watching TV?
Life in today's world is life in a war zone, and too many
fathers are unwilling to be called up--to be soldiers,
twenty-four hours a day, on their own home front. As in
any war, there will be casualties. But the greatest gift
a father can give his family is the knowledge that he is
there for them, unafraid, and ready to exert all he has
for their sakes, physically, mentally, and spiritually,
at any time of the day or night.
We men should encourage one another to become true fathers
again. We live in an age when fear seems to dominate every
relationship. Through the recent wars in Afghanistan and
Iraq and the increased violence and threats of terror,
true fathers are needed more than ever. Our world is so
full of loneliness and isolation, crime and mental illness.
Why can't we fathers do more to provide beacons of light and
stability and hope?
Wherever there are true fathers, they should be congratulated.
Wherever there are men who long to be true fathers but have
not quite achieved it, they need to be encouraged, because even
if fatherhood is becoming a lost art, it can be rediscovered
and celebrated--and not only on Father's Day.

THIS IS A CAGE.
another poem
by Vladimir Orlov
This is a cage
for the hopeless to hide themselves in,
in that safety-gilded,
softly mantling,
mesmerizing serpent
of a golden cage.
This is a cage
for the arrogant to shut themselves in,
in that vanity-gilded,
glamorizing fame
of a golden cage.
This is a cage
for the greedy to seal themselves in,
in that money-gilded,
unscrupulous, rampaging, waylaying
plunderer of a golden cage.
This is a cage
for the ignorant to lock themselves in,
in that pseudo-knowledge-gilded,
amnesia-stricken, amateurish lecturer
of a golden cage.
This is a cage
for the ambitious to imprison themselves in,
in that despair-gilded,
disappointing, disheartening dismay
of a golden cage.
OBIT.
