America, when will you learn
to fuck for love,
rather than cheap thrills?
When will you stop whoring
yourself to next season's
high-drama?
I am not a maniac, though
I think sometimes it seems
that way.
I don't really want to overthrow
the government, I just want you
to come to your senses.
America, when will you show your
six wings, your buddha
consciousness?
Tell me, America, why does he
who fights with Empire
become it?
When will you stop giving your
dirty bomb penetrator-cocks
to Israel?
When will you wake up, and realize
that a class war is being waged and you're
on the losing side?
America, I smoke cannabis
whenever I can (which
isn't often.)
My girlfriend is still a
communist, and she ain't sorry.
I sometimes worry she'll call me Karl
when we fuck.
America, was William Burroughs right?
Are you the last and greatest betrayal of
the last and greatest of human dreams?
For god's sake, I am not a hippy. I have
a full time job. Still, I wonder,
why we gotta go so fast?
Is history really an unstoppable tide?
Or is it just a bunch of rich old white men
trying to make as much money off our backs
as they can before the ship sinks?
