plastic windmillsA Poem by Mavis BardCandycane stickers flicker on and off Rotating with a riot Headstrong but belly out No more leases on life No more bad dreams Waiting patiently for the All American Dream Pretty kitty baby let's do it now Open your bottle of champagne We now control the ladder No more halfway homes No more labor No more contraceptives We are the progeny of the American Dream You better hold your reins until you die Mount your toys on a mantle held high Above the world for all to see And then they'll strip you of your sovereignty You got a plastic windmill from your white picket fence And nothing more with no recompense Just a broken girl with a broken seam All in behalf of a broken dream © 2010 Mavis BardAuthor's Note
