THE ELECTORATE
-------------------------------------------------
Here is the riddle of riddles:
what big, dull-witted beast
is supposed to be blind on the edges
but, atleast, wise in the middle?
THE POSTMODERN
-----------------------------------------------------
As a child, you squirmed alot
with impatient desire
empowered by a new box
of multi-colored crayons
and enough blank pages
to narrate any tale you could inspire
but chose instead
to scribble violent
swirls of red
and black
death.
Now, we hang your gory
lil drawings
from every corner of culture
like an embarrassing
refrigerator story
THE HARLOT'S CUP
-------------------------------------------------------------
Our great society
no longer rots quietly
in psuedo-family lots
but like some dying drunk
in a dirty, business suit
it pleads (on the absolute brink)
for "Justice!"
though really
for a drink
It is so confused
This great society
will not go quietly to hell
where the child dies for his mother,
the Press interviews itself,
and Pollsters poll each other
All the while
smiling,
angry too,
holding up
the foaming cup
We are so confused.
