Poem
“Deep, deep, deep. Listen and hear our faint gait. Sanitation, fluorescent lights, and a PC pillow for smother. Agree! Agree! Atone! Suck it in and suff-o-cate. White-ness. Black. Ev’ry creed, faith, and color. Listen to Nanny State and call her your mother.” A wilting flower and grass that’s mowed Are ever learning why the wilt and why the harm Innovation, creativity, and where Americana once flowed Abandoned by the Deep as “fly over” and robbed and made empty the house and the farm Nude, nude hush in the cellar and the hand can’t hold the gavel “Trade with China, take arms to China. In Syria sustain the war. Rude, rude, rude! Abuse of power and a ban on travel.” Rightful tariffs to the farmers and the market still tends to soar “Bully the one we call a bully or brute. A triggered, flying milkshake will save a safe space. ‘You get out and make a crowd!’ You fight! You punch! -- You loot! And if you see his son about, spit in his face and invade the place.” Knowledge of good and evil, and the tree from which it sprang Covet, covet, corrupt in Kiev; greed was found a-Bidden An Arkansas mansion mem’ry and sight on the oval did haunt and did pang An outsider, and drainage of septic forbidden “The farmers don’t want handouts or charity.” But past year’s labor sets this year’s price And The Salt of the Earth today will have clarity The cream off the barrel of tariffs is their due, and the tycoon’s not calling it “nice” “I’ll still call you a hater. You deplorable vulture! Because the map in November robbed us our due!” It’s not 'the other' we hate; it’s your stainless-steal culture You polled the what, -- (here a hint and a Midwestern clue) you owned the what, but Deep, my dear, you forgot about us and left sour the Who. Warm, warm, yellow warm incandescent nourishes Blue, blue, sterile, starving, hopeless erie --essence Nanny off the hitch and hands uncuffed --a dirt road gives and flourishes With the death of equity and the light of equality. And the tapestry shall dawn irid--escence The long bulb dies along the edges and fringes Clinical, global culture to the bin The gate has fallen off its rusted hinges And the incandescent will win.
