untitled

Newborn infant?
   There’s an app for that.
  It’s a strange new world, Jack;
and it’s nowhere near
     the Arthur C Jetson
  post-war dream, once promised.
      1+1=5;
and in December of 2012, you’ll
      be two—and the world will end.

The earth and sky fell to the Capitalists
        who put write name here
    in the White House/Capital Building.
Most recently, on the home front,
   a Tranny from Alaska
 shows that “she’s” the biggest
        swinging dick, squatting
in Monticello, with a mob of
  blue collar picketing dipshits,
       denigrating the corpse of
a founding father, mocking him
  as the embodiment of his fear;
 teabagging the rest of us, jaws
        agape in disbelief.
Public discourse is dead;
        wanna go ride bikes?

  Plastic Glow-in-the-dark Christs,
American Flags (made in China)…
Not much is sacred, Sobrino.
       We bankrupted your education,
   your future, your freedom, your planet;
all for petty family grudges…
      my friend, Benny, died
          for their feud.
Nearly a decade of war; but
   as long as someone else pays
 the price…

  In this banana and apple republic we’re
    building [no war but class war],
  filtering bullshit will be
          the only full-time
   job you won’t be able to outsource;
and it will be low-paying, hard work.
Your great-grandparents were
      part of the Greatest Generation.
    They understood that there is
                    nothing
         without hard work and sacrifice.
 In such a short time,
      we’ve forgotten their lessons;
  but who’s got time for thermodynamics?
    It’s such a dry subject, anyway.
Our call of duty is to buy buy buy
  (read: borrow borrow lose the house).
     We can blame this manifest pathology
   on past destinations—my obesity
  has everything to do with my genetics
  and nothing with the exercising of my
  freewill…
Forgive us, we are but helpless
      crippled victims.  You’ll have to
   solve the problems.

But you have to laugh, Baby James.
      You really do.  Find the humor:
  A naturalized Aussie pushes
        propaganda against immigration—
   a subject your mother may have a thought
      or two to share.
And then, there’s the women of the GOP…
       Irony is the foundation of most of Life’s
                punch lines; you’ll figure that out
            soon enough, I’m sure.

Beware, but don’t be afraid, Young One.
   They’ve had The Bomb for over
  half a century…
        Live, laugh, love,
     because life is an adventure
       of endless discovery,
   full of honeysuckles, bee stings,
        ocean waves, mustard seeds,
              and girls.
You’ll figure that out, in due time.
