trust in authority has melted
into a bead of sweat that settles in the crevice of a brow
bruised blue and Black with brutality
and vanishes in the flash of a policeman’s baton
dripping in technicolor cartoon print and imagined heroism
armed with weapons, ego and
righteousness.
reptilian shape shifters slither less convincingly
along back rooms and podiums
but are more popular than ever
disguised as your perfect Mr. White
who just wants what he already knows is best for you
and slinks into bed with women
he believes should remain forever
right-less.
mutually assured destruction is an STD
of nations who hatefuck their enemies
and then make sweet, god fearing love
to their own citizens
leaving them screwed and silenced
spreading generations through nuclear seed
and squirting missiles as a money shot
on those who dared to feel
wronged.
