Santa sprayed all the Christmas toys
To save all the girls and boys
He sprayed the virus out
Then he jumped and shout
Making a whole lot of noise
I rale against this GOD
of pestilence and joyous pain.
This GOD of the sinners
unforgiving beggars and fear.
I shout into the vacuous vacancy
of empty souls - huddled in hope
pleading for the penetence
of an unobtainable peace.
I mock the preachers pulpitized phlegm
sprayed spittle and sanctimony
mesmerizing the melancholy
cajoling the sheep with wolf tales.
I believe in simple things
in butterfly translucent wings
in sermons preached by bullfrog dawns
in "crownless" kings and regal pawns

Hair Sprayed With Golden Showers
We liked it when America once was ours,
Instead of being a part of Trump Towers;
Hard to explain;
Full of disdain;
Likes hair sprayed with golden showers.
