Illusions
of paradise; we hoard them all, those graven images of liberty;
and Wall-street’s
silos storing needs
sing well
an indivisible nation’s liturgies;
doctrine
of trading farmers for industry,
flow of
life follows the Nile’s fertility
right
through the ghettoes of prosperity,
“in God
we trust” in Caesar’s currency
buying up
Victoria’s secret iconography,
found tranquility
in mindful mass captivity,
ordaining
the weak, the prop for our longevity,
gun proliferation
blessed my weaponized-economy,
quick sanitize
their bodies under gravestones of sanity,
honored for
sacrificing the children to the Flag; finally
we are
free from the need to need, feel, receive, fail, forgive and grieve.
