Movie Star (The Bush Era)
Oh politician so high,
so high up in the sky.
Choking, choking, on the
golden snot clogging up your
aristocratic, bureaucratic nose,
on the priceless phlegm suffocating
your princely, baby soft throat,
on the putrid, hideous slime
pumping through your veins.
The arteries of our country
are blocked, occluded,
pumping away, on, on,
to death,
always, always
so oblivious.
Oh speaker, artist, movie star so
glamorous do you shine.
Shining, shining,
blinding every human eye near
and far,
like a giant silver disc
full of spacey beings from afar.
Burning away at every retina,
every self-image,
every self-defense against
false imagery and evil pretense.
You leave us so naked, like little
babies, defenseless.
Oh representative of all that is good,
and light and honest and right
and prayerful of beauty, oh Holy
Knight.
Your brilliance shocks us,
your intelligence mocks us,
your capacity for deception
flatters us.
Our stupid intellect stutters
and stammers,
lamely attempting to grasp
your large cock
is just too big for our
tiny minds to comprehend.
Against your warhead death’s missile
we cannot defend,
only standby and dumbly grin.
Oh leaders and defenders of the free?!
world.
Oh ministers of all hopeless/ uninformed/
spineless/ brain-dead/ fucks,
spitting on all who are
down on their luck.
We choke upon your cum,
we spit it up in paper cups like stale
crocodile blood.
Your illegal wars and crooked policies are
unacceptable.
