She could be in terrible
Pain
So just go to her
Caught in some really bad way
As you never were
Prone to emotion
No more than provides
What you hide
In repressed,
More effeminate sides
But deprived of your strength
And your take home
Inflation
Of ego
You know
You’re alone
Inclination
Just seeks
Its self-service
Cocoon of eschewing
The over the moon
For you feelings
Exuding
But loses its bluster
Its posture
Its cool
And submits to her
Somehow more powerful
Rule
Promise justice
Into dust
Is this
Fortune foretold
Determined,
Terminated,
Propagated
Stories all
Unfold
From Pravda’s
Driving Mazdas
Writing in
Their power
People
In a language spoken
Woke enough
To scheme a lesser evil
One more thank you
For my students
Who go through this
Education
Pull back curtains
Food desertion
Breaking fast
Their concentration
On the nation
That has raised them
From monopolistic sources
Through abortion
And extortion
Disproportionate  
Divorces
Overwhelming force
Endorsed
Too often
Book reports
Exams
And coffins
Bullets
Barrels
Only blossom
Learning from
Collective trauma
Teenage angst-enlivened
Drama
Cutta’ peace  
Of the skyscraper
Cake
Let them eat
From the scrap heaps
Of history
Still on repeat
And asleep
I could teach
A class
Clearly distinguished
But through it
Exude
A feud
Not yet relinquished

So onto impending
Long marches embark
To the promised landless
Wealth disparities
Stark
And the heart of it?
Darkness
A global south reeling
Like sea levels up to
Our bets
In debt ceiling

The whole world is feeling
Disorders
And borders
Our minds
Are bombarded by
Media mortars
Attention-grabs constantly
Picking our pockets
And more artificial
Brain draining
Can't stop it

And you think it’s what?
An Israeli
Witch hunt?
Robber baron
Trump cun🙃’s
Next publicity stunt?
That will salvage this sinking
Titanic disgrace
This imperial ******* cede’s
Unresolved race
To consumerist
Tok bottom's
Mass-produced waste

But my warning
Though cryptic,
Explicit for years
It would come
With a flag,
And a cross,
And some beers
But I’d gladly break bread
With my countrymen
Now and then
Free to speak
Their preferred tongues
Of American

Fluently spewing
Self-evident truths
Yet proficiently parroting
Penguins in suits
With their legacies
Stained
Merit-baseless
Admission
Still masterfully feigned
As a unified vision

Omissions of guilt
From the most
Greedy filth
We have seen
In our time
By the millions
A minute
Their profit ships
Climb
And so many
A powerless man
Left behind
And their penny stock
Options
Seem more like a crime…🤔…

But I guess we don’t try
Those offenses
In court
We just settle for less
Than a right to abort
We don’t hold to account
All the coin they extort
Don’t put tariffs
On trafficking human
Import
Unreported
Distorted reality
Snort
When the law
Is a ***** fat cat,
A Musk rat,
A rohypnotize
Broligarch
Party boy
Frat
Even now all of you
Reading this
Dissident’s
Dissonance
Cognitive
Synthesis
Most from the right
Little less from the left
But the nexus itself
Is contingent on theft
On consuming
Its own working classes
Bereft
Of the best in show
Pedigree
Peddling its
Influence
Rife with eugenicist
Rhetoric’s
Genesis
I guess I’ve not written it
All of us living
In prisons
Been giving it
More than a second thought
Crime
I’m reliving it
Living in times
Where the country
Is dying inside
A transition
From freedom to tyranny’s
Trite
Repetition
Again the same playbook
Dismantle the government
Double misspeaking
It’s they who are running it
Straight into private
Conflictual interests
All at your expense
And yet…
None of your business…
Dispelling the shadows
Of ignorance
Luminous
Lost in the night
Guiding light
From the numinous
Sent unrelenting
Spent afterlives
Venting
And so incrementally
Turned to attentively
Tending
And blending
The seed  
And the breed
To collectively learning
To write
And to read
