The Justice Department is now on Blue Skies, the flagship station of the Netroots Radio Network and hosted by Unity Radio Net!
I'm Special Agent DJ Justice; Radio Host and Program / Artistic Director for Blue Skies on the Netroots Radio Network; and I'm manning the dials, spinning the discs, warbling the woofers, putting a slip in your hip and a trip to your hop.
Blue Skies Netroots Radio is there for ya, baby!
(An Ode to the Moon)
Full moon shining bright
Midnight on the water
Oh Aradia
Diana's silver daughter
Lady of the Moon
Lunar Goddess
Puller of seas
We greet your celestial jewel
At the waxing of its powers
With a rite in your honor
Lady
You are known by many names
Aphrodite
Kerridwen
Diana
Isis and many more.
-- Ancient Roman Prayer
The moon, methinks, looks with a watery eye; And
when she weeps, weeps every little flower.
-- William Shakespeare
I Sang
To you and the moon
But only the moon remembers.
I sang
O reckless free-hearted
Free-throated rhythms,
Even the moon remembers them
And is kind to me.
-- Carl Sandburg
“I Sang”
Frail Tears of the Universe
by
Justice Putnam
The moon hides transparent
Behind wet neon mist
Closed eyes
In the cold night
A nocturnal
Journey west.
She lay in a bed
Of black satin
Her skin
Soft
Reflected light
I turn
I think she
Is sleeping
But she moves
On her
Western flight.
I want her to know
I think of her
Though
The clouds are
In the way
And she moves
In a walking slumber
As night
Fades to day.

Question: Who is your audience? What are you here for?
Answer: Tribal Alliances, Heart-felt Convictions, Passionate Reason, Random Abandon, Sustainable Civility and a kiss; to comfort the sad and the mad Ones; the Ones roaming the International section of the American Supermarket at night; or roaming the neglected streets looking for an angry malaprop to sink their teeth into; the Ones who seek without seeking and learn as much as they teach; the Ones who embrace and kiss and embrace again; the Ones who sing the song of the city and the ballads of the forest; the Ones who chant the rhythm of the sea and hum the melody of the desert; the Ones who sing the prayer of Her name and Her name is the World. Yes, those are the Ones. -- JP

You Always Said Pinochet
(words and music
by Justice Putnam)
(roughly to “You Take The High Road)
I’d always say, “Pinoshay”
You always said, “Pinoshet.”
But what of the names of the
Disappeared before Ya!
I will dance on the grave
Of Augusto “Pinoshay”
And you can spit
If you insist
On Augusto “Pinoshet!”
