Nicholas Foss Poet Free verse

Country Cheap

Quarantined in the corner of a country
With strange tongues
And worthless resources
With cheap labor & cheap lives
Cheap children & even cheaper sex

Quarantined in the corner of a country
Crazy with religion…	talking…
With strange tongues
And worthless resources
With cheap love & cheap guesses
Cheap sin & even cheaper penance

Quarantined in the corner of a country
Coo coo for cocoa puffs
With strange tongues
And worthless resources
With cheap ads & cheap actresses
Cheap plots & even cheaper climaxes

Quarantined in the corner of a country
Canonizing cops
With strange tongues
And worthless resources
With cheap shots & cheap riots
Cheap punishment & and even cheaper penitentiaries

Quarantined in the corner of a country
Coming Clean
