home of the brave

The President can stop
the war, but
doesn’t want to.

the people’s congress
wants to, but
doesn’t have the
guts to face the
rhetoric of
losing.

the niceties of pride &
protocol are more
important

than
other peoples’
blood;

than futile economics;

than the future of living things
in this blessed world.

what, in the universe
entire, is more significant
than amerikan
politics?

the subtext is puerile in-
security about erectile
disfunction.

is The President tough
enough to kill
an enemy with his bare
hands?
&
is this not the supreme
qualification for
leadership in this too
too young
nation?

so if the Prez
needs to play
chickie
with a suicide
bomber––

he’ll know what to
do––

there is no
substitute for
victory.
