Amerika

. (dedicated to Alen Ginsberg)

It's been sixty five years.

And still you wage the human war.

Now you have become more stealth.

Entering a sovereign nation you sear.

All for the money and influence? You're a bore.

What have you done with all that wealth?

What have you done to calm the fears.

From the Pacific to the Atlantic shore.

What of your poor and their health?

So many promises, candidates endear.

Once in power you become corporate whore.

Stop pretending you're a Christian. You're something else.
