...(Medley: My Countries 'Tis O Thee)

My countries misery
          creeps and all losers be
                    of thee, I cringe
   
          And where our fathers lied
and pilgrims took thei...

Legislators Are the New Mill Owners

...JUSTICE

They stare out at us unsmiling
from tintypes of the first photographs,
from the tea-colored pictures 
of thin, ragged immigrants, huddled 
in cold bare rooms in tenements,
children cl...

Darth Picasso

...The head of a gargoyle
    rests in one hand
  the scent of olive oil
    aloft in the wind

  While elves make mischief
    in sweatshops subterranean
  guilt storms man's conscience
    'ga...

Rant

...This town, this Silk Road had no toll to pay
  yet from the east caravans again fill its
pharaonic marble and glass temples. Monolith

malls rise its clefts, eco-wilderness morph
  into mult...

Lost

...11/9/21


If I crossed the line
Then I apologize
Almost lost my mind
A lot of times

Mental and physical battles being fought
Still lost
Smoking pot
And drinking lots
Another day and nigh...

Shipwrecks

...My people are shipwrecks,
they have faces long crushed by tanks.
Many are landlocked,
a few were too oceanic
they got broken by dry-docked hearts.
Most were blitzed by smokescreens.

The trees...

Inequality

...One-eighty billion dollars one man has, they say.
It is outrageously obscene when once you know
half the global populace earns two bucks a day. 

Due to lack of healthcare; they have no way to pa...

Just Because We Invent

...60% of the world wealth
is owned by Billionaires
Which leaves 
the rest of the world

To function on 
forty percent 
of the world's wealth,
"getting a rich man into heaven"

Is like trying ...

Child Labour

...that
silken gown

when pressed hard 
against the nostrils

one is assailed by 
the sweat of child labour

he is just eleven and not in school 
when other children are in school

the poor ...

Wake Up Humanity

...We’re complaining about life and throwing food away,
But there’s nearly 800 million people going hungry in the world today.
Over 150 million children involved in child labour worldwide,
And Innoce...

Fire

...Flames lick the sole of my foot
Immersions of melting soot
Reagents are called and are few
Engaging sweatshops of New
The intensifying heat
Can only touch darkness seeps
Three in a day they say...

The Smell

...The smell
What is that smell? Can’t you tell,
It’s just some tory twit,
Crawling up to the masters well,
To see if he can fit,

They whinge an whine about the time,
When we all worked for ...

Irony

...Love to the USA
Sweatshops in Haiti
Twenty machines in row
Sewing T- shirts that say
I LOVE the USA

Pollution

...Use me as an example.
Floating on sea's of vanishing waters ,
soaked up by those who care not for the amount of pollution tossed in to it.
It's importance ignored for profit.

Use me as a sponge...

Our Smoldering Factory Town

...Our Smoldering Factory Town
free trade, a brick around
It’s gurgling, swollen neck. Surrounding
gray quiet smolder, evokes, 
Once thriving factory smoke
A Crumbling horoscope
once paid it's wor...
