Oxywarmonger
Pledged allegiance to
compassionate conservatism,
bought a Texas-sized gun
for the bloodless battlefield:
no more dead babies
killed by friendly fire
from neo-docs in neo-frocks,
but damn the hooded Muslims
who steal thoughts of the young
while armored deities give credence
to the biblical slaughter of innocents
in the desert heat with clean bombs
equipped with reason;
smarter than the average colonel
calling out duties of America
while fondling his side piece for luck.
Pray to the fighter plane.
Honor the white savior;
a freedom fighter in a three piece
with pockets lined in chocolate and oil.
Dug a moat around the house,
put bars on the windows,
fortified the basement bunker,
stocked it full of canned pork and beans,
a hundred rolls of duct tape,
a gas mask and satellite phone programmed
directly to the FBI, CIA, NRA, PTA.
Knock twice for presidential protection.
Hide behind the bushes
from the black man on the TV
who murders mothers, rapes wives, steals baby sisters,
harbors fugitive fundamentalists in stolen SUVs
armed with surreptitious weapons -
cocked plots,
loaded desires.
Sent the wife into exile on the south side,
where narrow minded armies of the weak
will surrender before first bullets fly.
Locked the double agent daughter in the bathroom.
Shot the dog for barking code,
killed the neighbor for
looking funny when he smiled and waved:
Good morning,
Hello,
What a wonderful day
in the suburbs.
Lights out now.
Bolt the doors.
Dark days ahead,
dark days ahead
filled with only
waiting
and
the whisper
of
prayer.

Also, for what it's worth, "Tell me your[sic] not really that dense?" isn't a question, either.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111
you're an athlete, not a survivor!
(okay, well maybe if you used the batsignal, or called me on the batphone, but then you would have to let me in through the mansion, and i would have to slide down the pole!!!! and alfred would have to bring us scotch, neat, in oversized snifters!!! maybe, just maybe then i would. maybe i'd even wear my catwoman suit. rarrrr!) oh, but then i couldn't be 'pants-down' now could i????

Who the hell are you to say who I am?
As for that laughable remark regarding the so called fact that you voted me in to the top 15 that is total and utter bullshit and you know it. I challenge you to find one just one positive comment on any of my poems, you will not because you havent.
Also if you doid vote me in to the top 15 why not actually say something nice, how can I know you have left a good vote if you refrain from following it up with a comment, WHY ? I know why because you don?t want to say anything nice, for whatever reason, maybe the reason is you are incapable of being sincere, you are a hypocrite by saying I am a vote obsessive when YOU went on to the comments section of poemranker whining like a puppy about how pissed off you get at all the anonymous blue votes? As I say you are conceited, hypocritical prat who is so far up his own ass you can see last nights dinner up there.
As for bringing ranger into this how would you like it ? this is my beef with you, ranger has asked you many times to follow your critique on his work with your help because he respects your work.
And finally I couldn?t give a fuck about votes, so vote your little finger stained blue as many zeros as you like, I understand it?s a form of egotistical masturbation for you so send me your sddress and I?ll even throw in some vaseline to help you on your way.
If you are a better poet than me yeah that?s your opinion, I accept criticism but when dozens of other distinguished poets commend my work, you always berate it every single time and I believe you to be highly overrated and tedious. YOU HAVE THE LOWEST AVERAGE VOTE ON POEMRANKER ITS 1.87 THAT PROOVES YOU VOTE EVERYTHING YOU READ AS SHIT, EVEN THE WORST POEM ON POEMRANKER HAS A HIGHER MARK.
I feel sorry for you, you really need to get out more.
By the way the only thing swooning over you is that enormous dick thats on your head.
you really shouldn't let him get to you. he's just jealous because i'm coming to london to have tea with you and he can't go.
besides, he may be arrogant, but he does make me swoon. (i think that settle would say it's because i have no imagination.) and i've never before been compared to an enormous dick...
Gracias por haber lo puesto tan crudo. En este momento es solo lo crudo que puedo entender. Es tan dificil expresar sentimientos nuevos. somos una rasa nueva, moderna. El teror de la guerra, para nosotros, lla no es algo fisico. Lo vivimos emocionalmente, espiritualmente. Cada muerte es una pena y un dolor.
Esta poesia no esta completamente formada, pero lla veo la belleza de su rostro.
