good Americans (a latter day poem)

apparently, to be a "good American"

means to have no morals, whatsoever.

just look at what the profit ridden

incorporated capital of capital's

domination inflicting,

value sifting,

pride uplifting,

murder thrifting

competing gangs

of

"freedom's leaders"

choose to tell their onlookers.

*

just look at what that profit ridden

entertainment bidden "news"

chooses not

to

focus on.

*

need one even mention

the missing admittance

(let alone the shocking,

resolutely absolute

uttered dearth of repentance)

for all those brutal invasions?

*

if it's actually functioning as a democracy,

in a world where respect for others

can even be conceived,

i don't see how there's

any other conclusion possible.

*
