Through the darkened eye that
sees through the mirrored glass
I awoke with terror.
The images that have been burned
so deeply in my mind
scream to be freed.
I stand tall over the earth.
The sky turns angry and grey.
But the weather is clear.
I see the land of the eagle.
Where Great Lady Liberty
cries tears of blood.
For her people she knows are to suffer.
Blind Justice is being rapped by those who are rich.
Greed and Power have stolen the sword of justice
and broke the scales of honesty.
Great Father stands in horror
his hands tied by his sheep and their dogma.
The protectors of the nation turn to destroyers.
Those who vow to protect and serve become
liars.
I see the new gods growing in power as
the people mutter their incantations
on wall street or doing their rosary of the check book.
Confessing their sins to the doctors of the mind.
Praying to the porcelain shrine, fasting
for weeks eating only frozen peas
or flagellating themselves in mass
at the gyms so holy.
Going under the knife in holy sacrament.
( here is my blood, here is my flesh)
Others go to the fast food churches giving the daily alms
to the fat clown or one of the other holy places.
So obese is this god.
The world turns and as it does I see Mother Nature
being stripped bare as the trees are slaughtered
and the land is plundered.
She screams as each mine is dug and each tree is ripped out.
America the beautiful so walks to the slaughter.
Open your eyes to see the future in store
