The near miss- The floating delusions- The piggyback- Paranoia- Come hither- Its orbit- Steadies on Republican Armageddon- Star Wars technicians are building- Constructing- Planning- To reel in the fear- Their weapons are on standby- Just keep on buying, buying, buying- The looming fear- In space- Silent plasma gunfire from the mouths of their rhetoric- Radiation on tap- Nuclear tipped disco balls- Lounging with old white men smiles- And Alzheimer presidents- Still pimping out- Earthling citizens- Tuning their TV sets- To the same shit- Since- When it all began- In HP’s garage- Sputnik’s launch- AT&T and IBM- GE and the Rockefeller’s- American bandstand- Can become a consumer’s enemy- And friend- Colonial conquering- Imperialistic capitalism- And its pit bull offspring’s- A new empire- And the safe havens for small nation states- To control the neck of this Bald Eagles believing- Turn away- Turn to denial- Stealing, wheeling, dealing- In acronym police activism- FBI, CIA, UN, AIPAC, ADL, NRA- Discovering new euphemisms, the web spun by spin doctors- Those PH’D, professional liars- On CNN and MSNBC- Wig on head, snuff in pocket, intranet network- Connecting into each other’s bed- Republican passionate conservatism- Democratic liberalism- Same shit- Same stink- Would you believe- Everybody wants to put their hands in- This kingdom- And say its idealism has nothing to do- With the religious zealots- Or incorporated inflated bottom lines- Or offshore oil rigs shooting their black gold jizz missiles into space- Wrapping a knot around the floating gloom of doom- The hit or miss rock- The hit or miss terrorism- The hit or miss drug war- Wagging in front of us the carrot- Of Infiniti- But to bare the consequences- Is “totally unacceptable”- -We’re all guilty of the same thing- The tractor beam’s on- Hold on, and turn up you’re Surround Sound Version 5.1- Wide screen TV believing- The crack rock is coming- Turn it off- But it keeps on coming-Birth sign: Libra
