About This Poem
FREE POWER - Part Two
from press confounding conférences
from the Security Council colluding combine
from the General Assembly showy-mugheadedness
from secret international pacts
from noseyparker-ness
from the international monetary fund
from partychairmanship-ness
from multi-national-ness
from Fort Knox Reserve Bank Swiss numbered accounts
from Wall Street self-indulging perks to whoppy self-given salaries
and billion-dollar bonuses
from electioneering charitable-ness
from taking more than giving-ness
from absent inaccessibility
from highly guarded hifaluting-ness
from bypassing-ness
from sanctimonious peacefulness
from viagra sterility
from bleary-eyed self-satisfaction
from save this to spend that-ness
from take a crap on others-ness
from stratified doddering hierarchy
from smirking hypocrisy
from foie gras state dinners under candelabras in coattail-ness
from promising full-employment save the forests children and old-aged-ness
from so-called full medicare social security lower taxes & more paid leisure-ness
from housing for every no-one to no parking ticket-ness
from HIV indigestion
from AIDS constipation
from putting-on airs-ness
from marauding menacingness
from mièvrerie
