How Will They Hurt Me This Time

take away the pain
pull it for my simple minded 
cultural institution
unofficially assassinate 
the view to the deed
give all who know,
a shiny old award of singing 
dripped in federal money 
covered dew 
shape it up 
in lie-berries of congress fruit   
and blend it up 
to taste as euphemistic
