america died
“there was an old lady
who swallowed a fly”
-Simms Taback
Krishna is dead
shot in the head
Ganesha is dead
shot in the head
Arjuna is dead
shot in the head -
the perfect American family
in a posh, gated community
living to live and not to die
gods of the supreme
racist/fascist lie
playing in the shadow markets
of imperial pickpockets
a sham
like the peace dividend
america died
with John F. Kennedy’s brain
with Malcolm X and Martin Luther King
america has never been anything
but a dream
the un-united states
citizens transformed into snakes
the harlot of greed, envy, and hate
harboring the greatest racist/fascist race
all hypocrites who have to laugh to keep a straight face
stand firm
in the New World
open the shell
gaze upon the pearl
stand your ground
in the New World
reclaim what has been stained
take it back
from the tainted rats
