he is a coward

August 27, 2007

he once stopped by
and promised to resolve
my shattered bones.

he dried my tears,
placed a candle in my heart,
but not a flame.

he proclaimed,
I will never abandon you.
then he left.

he left to have sex
with violence – like John Wayne
slapping a woman.

although he showed up,
he never returned.
again and again.

anxious images
over and over again …
entertainment

Our country was born of
contempt for privilege.

Yet today we are besmirched

for having those same
patriotic opinions.

Lucky You!

we are told it is best
to live like kings
and truckling queens
atop this heap of humanity

(if not for the heap –
there would be no king)

beggars wear the rags
holy men wear fine robes –
money well spent
