fascism in style, the facts in denial well fuck all your generals, and con men, and liars, you’ve got enough coal and oil for a new Reichstag fire! Go ahead, light the match! Put the gun to your head! Pull the trigger and DRAIN THE SWAMP! That’s all you know, self interest and ignorance, another grift for the money men. There’s no air fit to breathe and no water to drink, but hey - we’ve got bibles for the people, gonna build more Walmarts and steeples!

Blind over Blind

there is screaming in the streets
and cracks in the gutters
the narcissists’ deceit
in the eyes of the beast
broken and blind
with a banner of deaf rage
“throw them to the wolves!
break their bones!”
in the great inversion
sticks are stronger than steel
and from no good path
springs no glorious end
strung up along the avenues
the soothsayers bleed
and from the ivory towers they plead
"Despair is for the weak."

from rivers that flow with dust
to streams all choked with lead
across the shrinking ice floes
were the caps of ages bled
through cities turned to deserts
and empires worn to sand
the raping of creation
the murder of the land
the skies are filled with poison
the seas laced with decay
when the reaper comes to lay his claim
there’ll be nothing left to pay
false gods upon the hill
behind a figurehead of christ
stuffing their gilded pockets
with the bones of the sacrificed
death creeps
the wind howls
blind men laugh
and toast their will
the party rolls on and on and on
until there’s
nothing left to kill
