Planned Nationalism

They gave us a half-finished product

Expecting us to finish constructing it

With psalms and green paper strips

Barnyard animals lack the opposable thumbs

To create anything that’s not a reflection

Billions herded to florescent death camps

The apocalypse and selfishness of complacency

In capitalist America, job holds down you

Straps down your imperfections to a gurney

And performs abortions with a flag pole

Don't Tell Me Not To Piss On The Dusk!

See me as a pigeon magnet

Dripping pungent gray

It covers the desk, the counter

But the johns don't care

I am invisible to them

I am invisible to myself

A numbered Faust

Subservient to my cyber satan

Grateful for this imprisonment

The same eight hours on repeat

"Will undergo waterboarding for food"

Sometimes I'll catch a glimpse of life

Sleeping outside in the dumpster

Asleep and peaceful in its freedom
