impoverish
threats
ram jagged
caustic noise
derelict ionic cameras
burning skin and
private parts
meticulous
malicious
For the greater good
For the safety of your neighborhood
A matter of national security
not for sale?
not in the mood
Precision, incise
implement
action plan
to renovate
the failures
level this level
bar who you are,
there is no care for you
for no one cares that
you were hurt before we
fixed the caring that
you are to be forced into
by those who are supposed
to listen and abide
to you, oxymoronic, no?
purge with noxious toxic bane
flood the streets with candy
infect with anxiety
paralyze with depression
kill your higher awareness
sheep are easier
to rape and reap
when on the nod,
asleep
drugged, alone and
down in the mire
of self hate
the loathing
that they propagate
social media
allows them to
push you to
perpetuate
the shite
Why should it
take the Word of God
to move the V.A.
or Social Security
to perform their
established function:
to support the
depleted citizens
America no longer wants
your huddled masses
it despises its own
autocratic dissonance
manage the per capita
with inventive disorder
and pharmacological
dependence
What may become
of your dystopian
dream
when come the day
and all that remain
are models, golfers,
politicians and singers
will their beauty power
our homes?
will the filibuster defeat cancer?
do your songs put out forest fires?
Can you harvest corn with an 8 iron?
bygone symbiote, patriots of folly
narcissistic ne’er-do-well
hidden in noble guise
paid for by the people
you so often turn
a sneer for
imbeciles with deadly toys
foolishly
playing at wise
Wilt, flower
vain, the poison
flows in stalk
leaf and root
draining water from earth
choking all who near
I do so desire
for a gardener
to shear
and clip
this ugly, hateful
beauty
A most righteous
pruning is in order

What a relief this is after reading, on another blog, a steam of comments of “Feminist v Anti-Feminist” invective and name-calling recalling Leonard Cohen’s line, “The homicidal bitchin that goes down in every kitchen to determine who will serve and who will eat.” This is such a clear and fierce indictment. It reminded me of this exchange in “Don Juan In Hell” by George Bernard Shaw:
“THE DEVIL [mortified] senor DON JUAN: you are uncivil to my friends.
DON JUAN Pooh! why should I be civil to them or to you? In this Palace of Lies a truth or two will not hurt you. Your friends are all the dullest dogs I know. They are not beautiful: they are only decorated. They are not clean: they are only shaved and starched. They are not dignified: they are only fashionably dressed. They are not educated: they are only college passmen. They are not religious: they are only pewrenters. They are not moral: they are only conventional. They are not virtuous: they are only cowardly. They are not even vicious: they are only “frail.” They are not artistic: they are only lascivious. They are not prosperous: they are only rich. They are not loyal, they are only servile; not dutiful, only sheepish; not public spirited, only patriotic; not courageous, only quarrelsome; not determined, only obstinate; not masterful, only domineering; not self-controlled, only obtuse; not self-respecting, only vain; not kind, only sentimental; not social, only gregarious; not considerate, only polite; not intelligent, only opinionated; not progressive, only factious; not imaginative, only superstitious; not just, only vindictive; not generous, only propitiatory; not disciplined, only cowed; and not truthful at all: liars every one of them, to the very backbone of their souls. ”
Thank you for bringing such light and fire to my morning.

You’re most welcome. In case you’ve never encountered it, this performance of “Don Juan In Hell” is on YouTube. The cast is outstanding and Charles Boyer delivers tha bit I quoted with all the passion is deserves:

Thank goodness for our human spirit which still shines out in poems like this… despite of ‘them’ turning ‘us’ into robots.. I doubt they’ll succeed in the end as ‘humanity’ will win.. I’m an optimist! x
