~scribal choices

If I wrote about the machine

the spiraling, declining mass of sheeples

led by newscast inconocasts

choking on Montecristo smoke

exchanging jokes about the great American decline

as they dine over wine

in clandestine country club style

O'Reilly and Olbermann exchanging family photos

while the fallout of their on air wars

(soul(d)  out w****s)

obscuring truth  and strangling the poor..

masses...scratching to stay out of foreclosure

sinking in an albatross of debt just to get

by..and suffocating in credit card purgatory as they try

to live the "American Dream" story

If my pen bled  red  dripping in the blood

of those gunned down in HUD subsidized hoods

or of the children dying across seas so we

can buy Wal-mart priced goods

If I swallowed down and spit up

the acrimony of the Washington phonies

the puppets put before our eyes to cover

Rockefeller and Monsanto's lies

as they grow fat in that

top six percent as the rest of us die

would all that I communicate and scribe

somehow hold more signification and  be above

the penning of my love affair with Love.......
