A bottomless materialistic pit
Always something for nothing

That captured my heart
By mesmerizing...

Golden like honey slowly the sunlight drips
On the sweet horizon of a sea tongue licking
Evening's rouge splattered and fragranted lips.
And like restless crab claws on...

Quiver
A quiver
In thy shadow
O hedonic fundamentalist
Corporate machine
Democracy thy logo
Christian right 
Of sway

Fat on war born dollar
And Roundup ready
To takeover
