power is
madness.
take a weak man
take and average man
take a frail man
with something to
prove
& make him
president of
something, God save us,
the United
States.
everybody in the world
wants something from
Him.
but how he choose?
how to get one
up on dear old daddy
President?
be a WAR
PRESIDENT, prove
you’re a
MAN!!
be the big
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF
landing on the aircraft carrier
& declaring Your
VICTORY!!!
hail to the CHIEF. hail
to the CHIEF. everybody
on their
knees.
we’ll try a combo
shot: we’ll get the
oil & we’ll kill
that damn
hussein.
so the armies
marched out in
blazing metal
helmets to Your
WAR.
& they came back
dead or in body parts
or with their
souls torn
away.
& the cursed civilians left
with crumpled cities
& missing husbands
& amputee
sons.
& the scurrilous insurgents
with their hearts
blown out of their
chests & their
brains blown out
of their
skulls.
& the nation &
its dreams drown in
blood.
& the silent
holy men with
guilt on their
hands.
& the earth
belching smoke
because it cannot
scream.
& the congress is
almost awake
& the defense
contractors can’t
sleep.
how many of God’s
children are we
willing to sacrifice to
salve the EGO
of an amerikan
PRESIDENT?
we all went
out to fight HIS
bloody
WAR & absolutely
nobody
won.
