Michael Kalavik Poet Burlesque

Dystopia the Beautiful

Oh, beautiful for racist lies,
And Amber Heard on trial,
For TikTok fueled insanity
While twerking Gangnam style.
Ambivalent dichotomies
Now shred my faith in thee.
And guns are good, 
Not brotherhood.
It’s plain for all to see.
We are free to achieve 
Our American dream
In the land of the craven,
The home of the AR-15.
