6.17.20 – Himalayan Hellscape
High
In the Himalayas
A war tore
Away the lives
Of twenty
Indians
Battered with bats and bamboo
Studded with death.
Modi promises
Revenge
So blood once again
Can be shed.

The Wendy’s went up in flames
After Brooks went down with holes
After police staked their claim
On another martyred soul.
6.12.20 – CSA Has Fallen
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.
6.11.20 – Sacred Mining
The search for more,
By definition,
Never ends.
BHP mining

From aboriginal lands.
6.10.20 – COPS
Bad boys, bad boys,
Where you gonna go?
Not into Seattle’s
Autonomous zone.
WHOOP WHOOP

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.

As a martyr and a man
Who liked mayo with his bananas.

Lee finally falls!
Seven and three-quarter scores
After Appomattox,
The Confederate general
At his Richmond residence
Will surrender forever.
