is that to be pre-emptive
\nit truly is suggestive and defensive
\nAmerica is a country
\nAmericans are its people
\nit is semantics Bill O’Reillys’s
\nas is it always usury that breaks our hearts
\nlover or governor it is the secret truths
\nand the public lies that kill us slowly
\nsometimes fastly
\npreemptive newspeak strikes
\nsplit tongues needed to speak
\nout of two sides of the mouth
\nplausible deniability
\nBlame America First?
\nand who second California?
\nbilly goat gruff sings
\n“hand me down my talking points
\ni’ll belt out of my echo chamber”
\ncough up those shirts and flag the train
\ndown came the rain and down it came again
\ngrace is amazing but never a given
\nhate becomes itself
\nask Rush Limbaugh who hates addicts
\nask phone sex users who pontificate chastity
\nasked the crucified by angry priests
\nwho preferred money changers in the temple
\nhang down your head boss mon
\nhang down your head and cry
\neven salty tears eventually
\nturn to warm caressing
\nlove only is immortal
\nthose who love America the most
\nare critical when she is wrong
\nno lie to go un turned
\nspeak up Karl Rove
\nwe can’t hear you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
