Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet tristich

Cannibal Lies

American Daughters of the Civil War Revolution
are so madly in love with their Bluish-Gray metal sons
Incestuous desires borne of slave tax oppression

Give to Caesar whatever tribute he crown heavy lay on you,
feed three-fifth portions to the hungry publican lions
Let the Den Mother Lying famine devour your children too

Cannibalize every ink spot known self-evident truth,
marginalize any constitutional chains inhibiting your ravenous lust
Another seething pot of baby bones is the Baal proof

Give to Pharaoh whatever gut pyramid schemes he Isis dream,
feed you quarterly lies from the war widow collection plate
The Wall Street church in tea need of another gun barrel beam

Amerikan Sons of the Ruble Con Bolshevik Revolution,
so gluttonly love their daughters’ leather fetish for the holster
Homicidal desires borne of suicidal plantation depression

Janis Medders Tobechi February 27, 2018 at 5:39 PM Wow! A great deal is said in this piece. The metaphors are deep rooted in our culture and have hidden meanings.

Andrea Dietrich February 27, 2018 at 5:34 PM Gosh, very powerful pen, Freddie. I dare say, I do not know every single allusion you made but I know pretty well what you were getting at. The figurative language was striking.
