Forgot the freedoms Revolution wrought.

Bought off by New Deal gloss

over the rotten heart

of the same system

we fought off

in 1776.

Co-opted by Billionaires

whose pockets we line

with every needless purchase.

Heedles, obedient sheep

as long as we can keep

our cheap, Chinese imitations

of the Masters' insufferable consumption,

which even now is washing up

in a pestilent, tumorous tide
