Last Words of Some Generation

Last Words of Some Generation

A Poem by Matthew Jones

Car-bomb misfits
Slam
Diamond clad girls,
With fingers caught 
In pearls, 
And eyes aflame,
In lurid quarrels. 
Gone they are
Now
Forever.

I do shed no goddamn tears

East Coast rich kids,
Drugged up, 
Sullied, 
Strung out, red eyed.
Shut-down,
Bullied freaks,
Suicidal,
Alone, in denial

I do shed no goddamn tears 

California B*****s, 
Partied late,
Found in ditches.
When madness takes hold, 
Sins are bold.
Let burn them witches.
Red faced savages 
And Midnight Africans, 
Rousing streets
With gunshot beats,
And blood soaked heaps.
Mercilessly 
They ravage my country

I do shed no goddamn tears

Save that one,
Just that one, 
Sprung up, unintended, 
From fears
Of these queers 
And these hippy clad punks.
Can’t you hear their jeering cheers
For our ship that’s sunk?
For they have steered 
To the death
At the helm of 
What was once my country.
