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

pro-life
pro-death penalty
poor God – so misunderstood
May 22, 2007
poor God –
always an excuse
for war,
always an excuse
for wealth.

“class warfare” accuses Rush disapprovingly
May 15, 2007
Our country was born of
contempt for privilege.
Yet today we are besmirched
for having those same
patriotic opinions.
mother’s day gossip
May 13, 2007
Poor Joan –
she never married.
And Leslie
never had children.
And wasn’t it a shame
about Marla?
Too bad –
she was such a pretty girl…
gangsters and sluts

If you worship gangsters
you get more gangsters
If you worship sluts
you get more sluts
