America, The Bold?A Poem by Hunter ZabbaiMaybe I’m the one who will save the world Bring peace and joy to the boys and girls Maybe we’re the ones who can end the hurt Once women stop speaking in church Oh say, can you see? Just get lasik surgery: By the dawn’s early light, for It’s time to don the new third reich What so proudly, we failed! As we searched for the holy grail In a world of no more dreaming This is the twilight’s last gleaming Who’s broadway stars earned stripes? Through our dilapidated
plight The rocket’s
blared, our hands red, fair? The bombs
bursting, everywhere Gave proof
through the night That we’re
out of our minds Oh say! But don’t
speak For there is
no freedom of speech Will this
star spangled banner finally cave? Over the free
of land and home of the slave? I pledge
allegiance, until the grave To the
masquaraded states of america And to the
democrats and republicans, which barely stand One annexed
section after another, above God With Liberty,
and Justice, For the privileged We the
people, hold these truths as evidence That some
straight white men are created equal If they are
endowed, and are not Aliens By the One
True God who exists To join the
right That among
these Are
Artificial Life Liberty
Financial And
Medicated, Fabricated happiness Bring peace and joy to the boys and girls Maybe we’re the ones who can end the hurt Once women stop speaking in church Wake up in the morning To a world where the day will be boring To the land where flags and bombs are soaring To watch tv and catch up on some whording Make me feel alright, maybe blind Am I right in my own mind? Left brain, techno wave space age Like mice in a maze, racing in a cage Went to a seven eleven today To get a slurpee and some scratch off tickets Before I get blazed And the sun glazed my eyes And the fun played the prize A poet who would never know it That he had the message all along In a world where he would never belong Guns running rampant Love shunned by encampment Is this a piece of art Or an art of peace? Leave behind the weak and meek F**k them, I need to eat Insure my problems, deduct my habit Give us pills so we can f**k like rabbits A land of make believe Believe me we've all had it I've heard it before It's four in the morning and the cops Are bursting in my front door flashbacks of my life from before Dearly beloved, thou which I covet I have a magic lamp in my pants won't you rub it? We can go clubbing Like freddy flintstone I've been stoned throw your rock and crown your throne Wear your robe and disrobe the clones run your game and claim your fame fly your plane right in my grave No more soul, just synthesized beats No sheet music for those mentally deplete Delete the weak Destroy the meek Destruct your street anarchist cook book taught you how to eat No need for grammar, american we speak No more schools, the internet shall teach No need to debrief unsheath your sword, Unleash your hoard This is a mutiny! Throw your captain overboard I'm laughing when your mapping out magic Wreaking havoc, i'm not from dallas But act like a maverick with No clue of the atlas Profit over what again? Is the ar fifteen mightier than the pen is? Do your time in due time Live your life with no clue of mine Attention span, who the f**k is span? Aren't we all the same? Is there no sense of fam? I love the taste of this It's makes me feel so bland let's go back to the haydays When we told ourselves that What we're doing is okay Make belief that you will find relief Or make believe that you are the chief Commander in Briefs Command and Conquer Conqueror of my own sorrows No need for tomorrow We'll be dead, We're dead anyways All so hollow Heart Mind Soul Genitals Congenital Failure 404 dismal error 01001 Out of funds, then you've run your luck declare you're bankrupt And that you don't give a f**k. Five minutes of silence Is on my list Smoke another cigarette Is my last wish My own a*s I kiss I'm a suck up, a f**k up No more drugs, need me a good buzz Recovery? That's impossible for me What is a metaphor for Whenever we start to speak Someone creaks through the door There were seeping in the creak Weak with their disease I don't say s**t when you sneeze Is there a need for please For who the bell tolls Liposuction out those rolls Tummy tuck my soul, tenfold This race is a mold And we're getting old How long until someone throws us out of the fridge For fear of catching a cold? Are we in control Are we waiting to be told what to be told America, the bold? © 2012 Hunter Zabbai |
