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
