War is hell they say
but carry on each day
good days fight again
in carrion's awful sin.
War is deafening loud
never give in be proud
cry for dead friends
war's baptism's ends.

Stares forever at me blind
not sweet or unkind.
Just watches over me
I finally lose my mind.

Love is everywhere
the light is unless
you eat my pets or
**** my kin again.
Welcome to America
Land of the free
with weapons for
you and for me.
Walter Cronkite died
buried with truth.
My brother's bible
New York Times
makes communists
socialists and Nuns.

You're a burr in my saddle
a stone in my shoe
annoying rattle
driving to you
in my **** box car
held together with glue
to remove a spider
for my love of you.

I went to 6 Alcott Lane
I grew up joy and pain
For sale after the funeral
Mom and Dad now unreal.
Just sad empty spaces
ghosts call our places
Christmas mornings
Echoes of warnings.

We leave you in droves.
You betrayed our beliefs.
Treason to Constitution.
My uncle was a priest.
****** a congregation.
**** the evil devil  beast.

I rode rails with Kerouac
dragged hearts through
one night bomber flack
full moon of eerie blue.

Willing virgins sacrificed
on altars of sacred Beats
Scream out "Jesus Christ"!
applause from cheap seats.
