Always abstaining from alleviating waste
self absorbed parasites, glaring like cagey snakes,
like incurable thieves of our hearts
victimize our subsistence like a loose lover.

Startled by sudden apparition,
uneasy through joblessness,
our countrymen's lackadaisical carriage converts
the smut of scuttlebutt, becoming like mortar.



They command love, command respect.
Alas, angry voices fall upon deaf ears.
We emerge laughable in our poverty.
The leviathan triumphantly pens our journal.

 

Song sample for October, 2008 Everybody Knows from the cd Flameland.

Michael Bonanno is a published poet, essayist and musician who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Some of his poetry can be found at The Poetry Corner at OpEdNews.He is an associate editor for OpEdNews. 

Bonanno is a political progressive, not a Democratic Party apologist. He believes it's government's job to help the needy and that leaving the people's well being to the so called "private sector" is social suicide.His CDs may be purchased at CD Baby.

Michael, I'm Inspired to look for Poet's Corner.

A poem is best on the thousandth reading,

But this one got me going at the gitgo.

I look forward to future visits.
