The Great Satan

•

God Country
a Yankee Doodle of traumatic brain injury
to the head and chest
liver on a bed arms shorn off at the elbow
'This Is Your Day' (Benny Hinn)
                                                           anything goes
'they want to die, and we want to kill them'
with hi-tech aplomb
to be caramelized clutching an Islamic rosary
clothes intact
a cry vaporized into pink mist
                                                      occupation
and the rape-murder thereof
'then they killed my granny'
any means it deems fit
drill bit through the lung
                                              gun-up
'it's fun to shoot some people'
more shock and awe but first this commercial
a honey of a bomb
for the umpteenth time charred and mutilated
bits of severed hands bits of skull
half a face in triplicate
children of a lesser God?
'they created a desolation and call it peace'
birth pangs, oh yeah
                                     jumpin' hegemony!
I'm a Superpower
with transcendent purpose
'I believe today that I am acting in the sense
of the Almighty Creator' (Hitler)
and a great soul to boot
'come and see the blood in the streets' (Neruda)
and the rubble always the rubble
smoldering heaps
2 parts twisted iron, 1 part flesh
                                                           FAMILY HERE
blast wave a la Playstation 2
awesome so surgically precise
the corporate wonder of infant eye rupture
flying fragments
mega shaken-baby syndrome
'sure as hell didn't know what hit them'
'freedom' is a bright red rectal bleed
                                Laila Dakhlallah
lost her children
and will stand and fight
'everything dear to me has been taken away'
                      again
they gathered the family members in one room
        again the victims had bullet shots in the head
               again all bodies were handcuffed
                               same-old, same-old…
                                                                       keep it up!
so many options
                  solutions
tried tested and true
Salvador         Fallujah
            the Warsaw Ghetto
to atomize or castrate, your choice
integers, not people
undermenschen, like in the old days
History repeating itself
that same predatory class
'who kill innocent people to achieve political aims'
(hey, that's a terrorist!)
the terror of aggressive war
the accumulated evil of the whole
the supreme international crime!
('this poetry is too topical, man, that ain't art')
cakewalk to a New American Century?
'I wouldn't put a great big smiley face on it'
to devastate the many to enrich those few
the 'great' of the world
offspring of apes and pigs
                                               Old Glory
in the dock at Nuremberg
