Men in sleek suits & their culture-cloned women

that go clickety-clack with false tongues and sharp

teeth and finely shod feet, riding in limos on capital

streets, in shiny Mercedes, 'squisite Jaguars, cool 'Talian

cars, copies of Times & Journals on smooth leather

seats, classical symphonies cooing in 'zecutive

suites, th' explosion of business 'top heartless con-

crete, the toppling of government by corporate

elites, the rollback of Labor into a heap;

the gavel of justice veering toward ruin, gav'ling

for aggression, repression, the rich, the unjust,

schools of prestige for the offspring of privilege,

for the poor and non-people warehouses called prisons,

boomburbs and mall glut disappearing the land,

profit-mad stockholders with unreal demands,

every Congress a stable of castrated sheep,

always the rubber of wheels slapping the street,

the lies of fake leaders unfathomably deep,

power-drunk palms slapping paid cheeks, mega church

preachers rolling in gold selling God as a creep,

mega fauna worldwide nowhere to hide from the greed

and the heat, colossal crimes of wars and invasions,

the legions keep cheering for Super Bowl Nation...
