America I love you.
you let youth and knowledge blossom then kill them.
kids, so ignorant and sublime, seek a revolution for unknown reasons.
unhappiness is a cell phone that won’t work.
the Face Space is littered with complaints and hollow gestures.
inane observations and juvenile pictures dictate our daily lives.
bitter accusations see classless fools
argue over results that never appear.
hateful statements litter the Net and TV like
bodies in the streets of Baghdad.

The eyes of commerce fear the future.
no amount of money can cheat death.
i want to exile myself to find some
blasphemous truth that will set me free
from the lies that i hear every day,
the dark lies that fall from sunny skies and
smother me like the blistering heat of summer.

Land of fire, land of Love, land of Hate…
America will prevail.

I’ve fallen for you
watching you walk
through streams with fish
swirling around your feet.

The moon ripples in the
water as you step up on the rocks.
Your white gown falling from you body,
you fear nothing
as you let your naked mind and soul become…
Nothing——
and escape the lies that brought you to me.
