Seems, in these very interesting times, poltical poetry is making a noticeable difference. Poetry, by "charging" words with meaning, is "the difference that makes a difference. Poetry is a counter-weight to the increasing meaninglessness of corporate media and corporate politics.
Our Neo-Cons
Our Neo-Cons
Who art in Hades
Hollow be thy name
Thy destruction done
Thy doom to come
On Earth as it is in Hades
Give us your lies
Your daily deceit
And propagandize against us
As we the people disdain you
Whose avarice is wielded against us.
Quatrain For Dick
A tale of Dick & his peppered Whittington;
A few too many does not mix, Shotgun!
And apparitions of Dick all around;
From Burr to Cheney a 200 year arc of sun!
Hunting By The Roadside
Apparition: Cheney shoots Whittington's friendly face;
Big Lies from a Dick unhinged!
Red Dick
so much depends
upon Dick Cheney
covered in taint standing
beside the impotent Bush.
