THANK YOU FOR SELF-HARMING
Behind the shop front lies death and
destruction
and it’s all for sale
to the highest bidder
if you’re up for induction
and a reasonable fibber
without fear of jail
you go to the counter and ask for
Uncle Sam
the great anointer
master of the grand slam
it’s all red white and blue
the lying Fox News stars
impaled on razor wire stripes
flying from every bar
and lawn
the bended knee at the
pew
the sycophant fawns
as they select the few
but it’s never you
for that interview
unless you have the millions
outside they whistle and
shout
to defend the billionaires
and give the Pentagon
more clout
impoverishing the masses for the
military security complex
and what’s it all about
the subjugation of humanity
to correct
and hinder nations as they evolve
their faiths and tribes and national being
bombed to stall
so out of the shop steps a new president
sounding familiar with the same old
clippity clop
with the neocons holding the reins
so much money ill spent
time now to take down the
shop front
and let the world take the
brunt.
Wilson John Haire.
