pigs with fangs in suits
rip into the soft underbelly
of America
the blood running down their jowls
onto the red stripes of the lapel pin on
two button suits, hair spray pinky ring
sausage stuffing wads of cash
ripped from the soft underbelly
of the life support victims
limo lounging lust
super patriotic lampreys
sucking the truth from
the believers in the pews
in front of the TV bread and games
gladiators vs. fear on pay-per-view
send us your poor tired huddled
sons and daughters for the blood sacrifice
on the altar with the son of Abramof
and the goats’ slit necks
feed the pinstriped pigs fat from
the prey kept alive, just alive
for their blood on the flag
on the ground, in the ice of the drinks
with the cigars wet from the lies
that sucked them dry
while swearing on bibles
protecting the dream of
the soft underbelly
for continued plunder,
this great land of opportunity
long may it wave home of the brave,
saved by the Lord this day,
hallelujah.
