You Silly Little People

inspired by James Douglass' book JFK AND THE UNSPEAKABLE

 

the dead do not matter

remember we killed Kennedy

are you stupid?

 

we can do anything we want

Iraqi dead American dead

a nuclear war

 

we can do anything

 

if I were you I'd shut up and shop

while you still can

looters will be shot

 

your health care your children

oh please you're making us cry

tears in our martinis

 

from deep underground

we will still run the world

while you vigil in front of caves

 

we will use your daughters to procreate

for us a new herd of sheep

an unlimited food supply

 

it will be just like old Rome

only better as we watch the sheep

do what you called the unspeakable

 

perhaps you should have spoken it

out loud back when it would have mattered

instead of just whining about peace

 

don't worry your peace is coming

you silly people who wanted to be like us

without any of the guilt or shame

 

the peace of unburied dead

do you have a sign for that? a candle?

come on make us laugh--it's a party
