wants less abortions
cause we need more workers
which causes our immigration problem
but
those more workers
are our children

he got an expert
to teach his audience and himself
to read body language
in this age of doublespeak spin
and lying liars
nobody meaning what they say
or saying what they mean
and when we learn and when we learn
human thoughts are only electric currents
picked up thru evolved hearing
we never know exactly who
is reading our thoughts

Whitman, so abused
by an authoritarian father
demoniacally driven to succeed
failure freed the demon
his father had installed into his son’s soul
son releases anger towards his father
sniper slaughtering strangers
slaughtering until he was slaughtered
resolving nothing
save a lasting picture
authoritarian power carries the burden
of seduction
of ultimate power
over a child
over a mate
over a city
nation
ultimate the world
(unless you believe
Star Wars)

what does not sustain destroys
flowers do not last forever
thus the painting or portraying
is not the glory of the flower
but the reminder thereof
thus we dance while we may
and when we may not is now
is when we snatch the starving child
from the vulture
awaiting
the death of one more flower.

they supported their chin with their hand
too much with them when the subject was Empire and Africa
when the promise is untold riches

what’ll i do without my politic
for what is partisan but an inclination for

both sides of any disagreement
when partisan turns to stone
