Surreal bitter imagery Holds my tongue inside Rumors whisper alongside hearts Offering striking attacks Protesting assassins Dismantling passion Merciless insanity Tolerates injustice Steelworkers crawling on flesh Of minds and mouth Noise emanates hysteria, Clotting intimacy Ravenous collaborations with tyrants Being sold on video Streams the bull of ineptitude Dishonesty becomes a natural tributary Articulate images and gust of winds Knowing the seeds of destruction Medals of Honor being lost Eyes turning grey With Fascist bullets Jagged glass ripping the soil of fidelity Brown mouths spit out sandpaper monsters Raising generations of vacant eyes Smells of heartbreak, rape, madness Becomes views and opinions of American Idols Sickly media waving crowbars Of suggestion boxes Valkyrie a collaboration Of Defense… Wondering whose files will gain voice & visions Side-shows of optional subtitles Growing political fleas West Nile Virus, a willful ignorance Marketing...Undisciplined echoes....imperialists And I, here expressing myself, Wondering how long until the mess up When McCarthyism sits at our dinner tables Teaching hip hop gamblers how to play And all the while, we thought we were doing fine Wondering if it were all merely bad decision? Maybe there’s something more to the ol woman screaming...... “I fell down and I can’t get up?” as the wolves rip her throat out! |

Guess we can't ignore potential health threats like West Nile virus but I agree, this kind of media focus just doesn't cut it for me when millions in other countries are still dying of starvation and dysentery. I believe the odds are greater of being hit by a drunken/drugged driver on the highway than from any creature bite. As always, I really enjoyed the boldness of your pen, Lee. You never tiptoe around the issues. |
