America: Power Whore

By peril_notion

Whoring the ideals
of political antagonism
in a mountain guerilla warfare of hatred
American government
lovingly fondle their dicks
(in the name of patriotism)
At the thought of using economic weapons
and their power of intimidation
excited to display their hostility
using nuclear teeth to
reveal strange interpretations
of peace keeping
With offers of unquestionably selfish
conditional handouts to civilian war victims
in the name of comforting to their conscience
while at home
Sending out brut policemen
to enthusiastically beat demonstrators
in the daylight on the streets as
they protest against the powers who
ferociously suck on
the dignity of their own militant
underpaid industrial workers
As slaves to their plantation
WHO
in the process of dying
are strategically chain-smoking their lives away
