The Internet Gulag

as Ralph Nader refers to it

is keeping the youngsters away

from their duty as citizens

to fight back against their enslavers

.

john donne said no man's an island

clearly he got a little too excited

more like gulag archipelago

like Soldiernietzsche said

.

in the near future nazi police state types

will stomp in vats of lefty eyeballs

like Mama and the aunties did

on grapes barefoot back in the day

.

going around in circles, singing

beerhall bravado putsch paeans

how terracentricity'll rise again

and St Grobian will be our loving Sun

.

ralph nader we'll miss you when you're gone

more than we missed you while you were here

us f*cking around with hedge states

in the middle of a paradigm war

.

I'm old now, but not quite finished

I can't read F*ck You magazine no more

without reading glasses -- Jesus, that Ferlinghetti

could pour it on! I miss Jesus, but not really

.

In the circles of the coming Hell

where nazis waltz in eyeball stew

and hallucinate at the lefty visions

we welcome the return of earth at the center

.

the earth is not an I, but an our and a we

Cain the devil's son was an animal

driven by the urge to destroy light and life

the children of the corn are all around us

.

life is voracious, beauty and the beast

comsensual rape of mentalities

consciousness in a grain of sand

if only Trump weren't Bozo the Clown
