The Confederate States–
Made in name to oppose
The US of A—
Is toppled by the very folks
That they suppos’d
Were less than white.
Month: June 2020
6.11.20 – Sacred Mining
The search for more,
By definition,
Never ends.
BHP mining
Will cut the heart
From aboriginal lands.
6.10.20 – COPS
Bad boys, bad boys,
Where you gonna go?
Not into Seattle’s
Autonomous zone.
WHOOP WHOOP
6.9.20 – Recession
According to econ accountants
A recession had been a-mounting
Since February.
Though most became wary,
One man found treasure in mountains.
6.8.20 – Dismantled
As demonstrators
Demand defunding, city
Councils dismantle.
6.5.20 – Banana and Mayonnaise
George Floyd was memorialized
As a martyr and a man
Who liked mayo with his bananas.
6.4.20 – Statues
Lee finally falls!
Seven and three-quarter scores
After Appomattox,
The Confederate general
At his Richmond residence
Will surrender forever.
6.3.20 – Foreign Storms
Mumbai hit by
Historical storms.
One hundred thousand leaving.
Cyclones pounding, heaving
Nisarga and Amphan
From ocean to land.
6.2.20 – Up Your Arsenal
The Dear Leader’s pledge
To unleash military
Is fucking stupid.
6.1.20 – Palpitations
The Nation’s heart: it tremors
In convulsing, pulsing manners
That echo the boots of broken men
And the rhetoric of the liars.
This Is Just to Say
