Recipe for Eagle Meat
We've used our gifts
to...
watercolor disease
potter haloes of love into horns of hate
knitting the fallout of nuclear dreams.
Evolution is unwinding at the speed of light.
DNA is drunk on the cheap wine of the ID.
America the beautiful sounds like the death rattle of Rome...
Both envied and hated in equal doses.
Veins of freedom clogged by the cholesterol of ego.
Our elders sounding evermore unhinged...
In front of the world, they squabbled about
who's better on the links...while sworn enemies
exchange recipes for preparing eagle meat.
We've chained our children to robots
(and we thought they paid little attention to us).
They squirm equally within the envelope of eye contact
constructive criticism and compliment.
Everybody's pointing dirty fingers
only to be chopped off.
Bloody fingers are everywhere
from Whitehouse to the church of our fair Christ.
The four horsemen are approaching
albeit in the thin shadow of sundial time.
Feel their hoofbeats
clacking against our cobblestone souls?
