Kenule "Ken" Beeson Saro Wiwa (10 October 1941 – 10 November 1995)
Ken Saro-Wiwa

for the future and our duty to the children
by Jefferson Hansen
for the future and our duty to the children
Most institutions stray from their original ideals toward a
posture of conservative self-preservation, which they defend using a variety of
means. Writers use free speech against unwarranted authority in all its guises, following the stellar example of Ken Saro Wiwa. If we
forget him, we are doomed.

Muffin Queen
by Dan Ryan
Mary of the prairie, she of the pedestrian and mid westrian
alignment
easterly of the west, westerly of the east
an imaginal and illusional Scandahoovian Snoose Junction
misplaced and displaced from its original origins
over run with and by delusional
charismatic Catholics and evangelical Lutherans
wholey assholey assholes each fucking the other while
jihading for unholy control and domination of
misappropriated lands belonging to neither
white born - born again worshippers of death and
that which isn’t
sons and daughters and daughters and sons of
former invaders and eternal occupiers
All of which has not much of anything to do with
Mary of the prairie, poetic poet of pomes and
the Muffin Queen to boot
she who escaped the crushing gravity of
the religiousical lunacy afore mentioned
long ago but not soon enough or far enough it seems
the wholey assholey fuckers of young boys asses
finding her whereabouts out and
shoving their cum filled to the brim tithing bowl
in her direction with utterly astounding arrogant
expectation
her willing ascent and devotional compliance to
their current unholy pogrom a foregone conclusion
well and but rightly wrong they were
those wholey assholey fuckers of young boys asses
this mid westrian pedestrian Muffin Queen
this Mary of the prairie
wanted and wants nothing to do with her former tormentors
“Fuck those fucking bigots and wholey assholey fuckers of
young boys asses.”
said she in a letter to her former and despised diocese
Ms Mary of the prairie and noted Muffin Queen is not afraid
to speak her mind.
