A thousand suns bleaching the sky, the earth white,<br />
The sun coming from the earth to explode.<br />
Our legacy is history, but we never learn from our mistakes.<br />
Do we regret the taking of life, or the change we brought<br />
From that fierce atomic beauty in the warm August sun?<br />
An American Poem<br />
A nuclear pompadour<br />
Releases<br />
Buried collective anger.<br />
Integrity and humanity cease.<br />
The world becomes much stranger.<br />
Incandescent lies,<br />
Breach of the fragile peace,<br />
Fear the money changer.<br />
What his billions buy,<br />
The mouthpiece,<br />
Of the clear and present danger.<br />
AMERICA FIRST<br />
Dismembered, one stroke of the pen,<br />
One dollar at a time—<br />
The arsonists are in charge of the fire station.<br />
Destruction plumes, forcing fumes<br />
To an indifferent, hazy sky.<br />
Books and art in the sulphur flames<br />
Crackle and snap alongside<br />
Food scraps for the aged and<br />
Melting plastic eyes of children’s puppets—<br />
The radio hisses its last static,<br />
Then silence.
