Class Warfare ?

Why not?
The rich are already
kicking our asses

Our country was born of
contempt for privilege.
Yet we are now besmirched
for having those same
patriotic opinions.

what if
we stopped
building mansions
what if
we began
to build ourselves.
our home
in our hearts
freedom
our home
in each other
humanity
our home
in love compassion

We heard oral sex
ten thousand times
more
than terrorism.
We saw her face
ten thousand times
more
than the evildoer.
Upon Discovering a Tyrant (in revision)
June 5, 2007
atop wooden consoles
we pulled in whatever
was out there
footage of tanks
in hopeless mud
cannons flashing
through the night
our rugged life,
at the television
we would stare
zeros twisting
down in flames
der fuhrer pounding
with indignant might
in truculent german
to adoring masses
who would cheer
as he screamed
we versus them
follow the dream
the deutsches reich
I would wonder
what is he saying?
why is he so angry?
why are people
cheering
goose stepping
haling heiling
singing crying
like fools
smiling?
(just as a non
anglophone might think
when first hearing Limbaugh)
screwing common people
May 30, 2007
common people
want peace
and harmony
those who divide us
are manipulators
and misfits
power brokers
and fist lovers
how do we cope?
drugs and tv
earning and spending
through escape
we join them
strange spiritual bedfellows
