Made In China

How broad can bald eagle spread wings? Over Gag and Magog, to the east, and the place of morning calm When she is molting a spot is unclothed, New Orleans in the south Red China swelling in Asia with great sway An occult war manufacturing frivolity Mind control, weapons of mass destruction; a birthday gift placed in gullible palms Buttons are pushed away from books and noisy playgrounds Slaves to the control, mind control Tomorrow’s men are made in China

This is so profound, Earle. You always have such depth to your poems. I'm afraid the American eagle tries to spread her wings too far, interfering in other cultures in a very unwelcome way. Those last two lines may push some buttons, but I love it! Best wishes, Carolyn
