Through the window junky trees
Sown with garbage to their knees
Slag–slick–sump
Drains–ditch–dump
Filth snagged on wire
Machines dead in mire
Piles of tires, toxic heap–
It’s genocide we reap
Rounds now into view serene
Headstone Acres mowed and green
What’s planted over there
Shoots nothing to upper air
Only inedible hieroglyph
Marks the wealthy stiff
Gringos earned such space
Genocide of native race
Trashing Arabs pleases Sharon
Sharon on our neck like stone
Iraqis bleeding and dying
Congress bribed and lying
Ancient ice melting at the poles
From hot breath of paid a……s
Who get on TV every night and
Loudly reassure us wrong is right
Cowed Christians stay silent
Washing hands like Pontius Pilate
But Baptists shout for Armageddonwar
Banking on ‘rapture’ to Heavenstar!
High overhead the ozone’s thinning
Media blares, “We’re winning!”
Kudzu vine–pond scum–
We await the wrath to come.
