an iron fist to the stomach

 
 
 
JESUS H. JUMPING  
CHRIST!!!  
 
look at they have  
done to us  
 
the looters of the  
human spirit  
 
the grave robbers  
of dignity, integrity  
and self sufficiency  
 
gas prices higher  
then some cat on  
meth  
 
moral lower then  
a female ant's tits  
dragging across  
a cold linoleum  
floor  
 
streets of  
muder  
 
schools of  
murder  
 
gathering's of  
murder  
 
the sky does not  
know if it's day  
or night  
 
love does not  
know to either  
give or take  
 
hero's cannot  
decide to stand  
their ground or  
cut and run  
 
safety is a fly  
trying to escape  
the prow of the  
Nightjar  
 
and freedom is  
hanging from  
the last thin  
sinew on the  
dry bones of  
liberty  
 
somewhere  
between dreams  
and death we  
have learned  
a great truth  
about ourselves  
 
and that truth
is  
terrifying
