When America was really great, a little bit,
this was thought normal leadership to better
living using science for better things than profit,

eh, who holds the paper on your share of their
conserved defensive first strike capabill-ity
certain everlasting end
of war insurance?

You're covered. Should any one hit America,
boy howdy, hell shall manifest as the very heavens
radiating death and destruction, until Earth is Mars.

The USA renewed contracts to renew all its nukes,
during our first bubble of greed that uses Trump,
to make the chumps believe free is all a mind thing.

Famed CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow asked Salk
who owned the patent
to his vaccine. The scientist replied:

"There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?"

There is another hole in the old town.

When it rains it will hold water like cold
craters on the moon.Devoid of life now,
each drop will hold the history of years.
Every drop will reflect on scrubbed steps
and drunken Fridays and days off in bed.  

The wind will whistle hit parades over mud.
Grass will pretend it was always here and
cold kids on new bikes never turned out at
Christmas or in new clothes come Whitsun.
Plaques will not record the living or the dead.

There is another hole in the old town.
Shaped like a worn shoe. Hard to fill.
