FBI ALL ABOARD

We'd opened ourselves up to fascist beliefs 
we'd catered to the raw findings of mental angst 
an yet we knew going under cover would somehow 
lead to sudden death threats corruption beyond belief 

ill gotten gain abuse of power narrating our very 
existence we knew full well death would follow 
going into hostage situations my wearing wires 
on my womb was the fetus alive had there been 

prenatal care non existence actually being a 
confidential human source for the federal bureau 
of investigations in America a family of six a daunting 
task to be erased aborted soon after the currency 
arrived saving only the habitual murderers it seems 

witness protection for the arson murderers assasins 
hitmen hired to end life the Sammy the bulls  
the Calabrese willing to rat out the mere crime 
bosses of bosses where women infants
and children vanishes at the Metra trains all aboard 
Kenilworth my mind focused on Bozo the clown
 
The Ray Raynor show WGN broadcasting from Kenilworth 
Illinois who are we when the conductor screams 
watch your step my thoughts were can you hear my fetus 
heart beat can you tell the difference between my heart beat
 
and the fetus heart beat do you have kids do you think 
the sound from the wires is harming my baby amazing 
going deep inside hostage situations twenty two cities 
from Chicago to north Chicago stopping briefly in lake bluff 

train station to install the wires I'm broken I'm scared 
I have to swallow fear I have to go on and finish this 
retched job bringing corruption organized crime to justice 
funny today no it never really ends these bullies lie in
 
waiting to extort even your American poetry your mental 
health journal for gain while you double up on your 
survival skills while Klonopin is a safe haven a sanctuary 
between therapy sessions prayer is a constant reminder 
in many languages last stop poetry central station 
keep writing dear we will get through this
