Nothing taunts me
more than a macro level notion of justice
The hyperbole of
the hive flocking to polarized figures
Judged to be on
the perimeter of the spectrum as Hitler
A Sandusky , An Enron, A
Bounty Program, An O.J.
A Bin Laden, A
Mike Vick, A McVey, A James Holmes,
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
a monster!!!
Granted the
allowance of public opinion to extol
Unending
criticism in the form of landslides of disdain
I’m against it,
look here, I says it, I’m parts of the group
I downloaded the
app. last week before the sentiment went viral
A.C.L.U. lawyer
factions represent the inarguable stance
Diatribes,
sanctions, the vampire is staked
Blood thirst,
lust, gorged and escaped
Streaking out the
front door as naked as can be
Is an untouchable
sense of justice shrouded in manufactured sympathy
For Victims, We:
glob feces, stick AIDS needles, scrape toenail beds
We berate drums
with paddles of the veracity of horrors
Change,
allocation, imprisonment, disfigurement,
Eyeballs popping
out in some sort of Israeli exchange program
Rhetorical
interrogative conclusions wafting
In cotton candy
parachutes securing our descent into safety during a hurricane
The wolf cried
for and caught, the villagers pitchforks can return to the hay bales
Sunday services
can commence with a resolute bell tower tone
Emanating the
palisades and Parisian boutiques from le Notre Dame
Institutional
culpability
Priest’s penis in
the boy’s sphincter, the Pope and Paterno knew
Burn the Vatican and Pennsylvania , think of the children
something must be done
Grown up, kid is
a ROTC Iraq veteran, PTSD, treatment bumming on the street
Neuroscience
graduate gunning down Batman’s refugees, bunkering in corners
Spoils of war,
German fingerprints on Dr. Gachet’s portrait
Madonna of Bruges
looking down at baby Jesus’ scrotum
Blasphemy of a
Halliburton contract
Schwarzenegger
Governator Gray-Out Davis Enron power downs
Andersen was in
eighty countries and the largest CPA firm in U.S. history
Bankrupted in the
press, media bulimia, who was the killa?
Caught with a crack
rock in a baggy, doing more time than Ken Lay
Sentences stayed
by suicide, Ponzi schemes made off with the billions
Of faces out
there scrambling distracted, suddenly outraged by the tragic
Eclipse of the
day, stare at the orb of gas exploding in the sky
The heat the
melting, the sensation of the skin subsides
Into another
tomorrow, another yesterday, another reference
Collective
experience to circumvent direct contact or math
Which life, which
rape, which body cavity infiltrated has priority?
Which child,
which face, which famine, which bullet tells the story?
Which continent,
which race, which God, which faith?
Which
institutional injustice is worthy of the letters on today’s protest placard?
Burn world burn,
which classroom, who’s turn?
Scrambling to
make sense, eat the cake and put a face
Here’s the
victim, here’s the monster, here’s the reason, here’s the imposter
Allocate box to
box, on why this happened and why it will not
Happen to you
tomorrow, feel good, go back to the line
There is an
explanation and we resolved it
Ice Ice Baby,
check out my hook while my D.J. revolves it
Clear Channel
Playlist funding Bain Capital
R-money not in
charge to play the same three songs five times an hour
Replay the tape
of two planes toppling two towers
Rocks at tanks on
the West Bank, Drones extracting U.S. angst
Put a flag on
that to decorate the other extreme
Same polarity
rationalized under similar means
Take one of ours,
we’ll take one of yours
Shoulder rocket
missile at a Soviet helicopter scored
Opium fields
financing Pakistan
hiding Osama
Seal team six,
bullet in the head, get it over with quick
Monster, monster
out on the loose,…And justice is done
“Find it so grim,
so true, so real,” West Memphis Three
Explaining to a
cacophony of labels of who’s Cain, who’s able
Satan playing
tricks financing mortgages,
Use to be usury laws
now it is assurances
Placed on the
backs of taxpayers,
Splitting loans
into Harry Potter horocruxes
A sixty-six piece
investment traded on an exchange
AIG insured
bailed out and the werewolf has turned
Into more
overtime or unemployment, flog the back
Of hours away
from a family struggling to harvest the basic means
Of the dignity of
a dinner plate
Paid for and
leaving that tiny remainder that makes the end of this day
That slightly bit
better than the end of my yesterday and
Suggests tomorrow
may be a beneficial endeavor
Nightmares,
criminals, real problems, macro level
Super villains,
Super heroes, Bruce Wayne and the Joker
Billionaire
philanthropist donating to a sci-fi religion for a tax deduction
Mr. Smith is
coming down from space, but first I need a dressage horse and a car elevator
Bat-mobile,
kung-fu lessons with Ras Al Ghul, and a litter of sons to carry out my name
Fireman can not
afford to have a kid, more than one
And I am digging
out the rubble of debt again, American Flag
Vasectomy
breeding middle class eunuchs to contemplate retirement
Darwinism of the
loins according to the Adam Smith scientists
Two hundred
murders in two hundred days, New
Orleans is underwater
Which city
official just got paid? Fly to Jamaica to see
a goat tied to a stick
Next to a slant
of sheet metal jarred into the side of a mountain
To constitute a
house, C-Ray’s gone vacationing and the city is out
Frying in Houston , vagabond’s in
fifty states, FEMA elevating houses
Cards rearranged,
insurance paid for that, gots me a new one
Allstate paid for
it, but I’m still using it, Other gutted houses can’t find a dime
Random chaos of
broken levees and winds, who chooses the crosses for lines?
Carried on backs,
cancer or maps
Of where bullets
land or I.U.D.’s explode in Iraq
Shrapnel
cancelled out an operable larynx
So who’s going to
speak for that, who made sense?
I suggest we
avoid the herd mentality of justice recompense
Roping up the
neck, running to war, poster child for a disease
Lou Gehrig or Darfur , who’s got one, who needs one?
Who do you care
about and why?
Are you outraged,
fed up, doing something, nothing subsides
Does it affect
you, really, Somali famine, K’Naan, Are you hardcore really?
I don’t see it, I
don’t, Call me wrong
I see one
humanity singing songs
Media companies
turning the neck of the public
In violence, in
politics, in economics, in faith,
In sounds
berating our ears to the path of escape
As if there was
blame, some see a monster
I see people
making choices
Free will
responsibility, moving targets
Wrapping up in
the starter kit to make a terrorist a cult-hero
White Broncos,
Caylee Anthony a bigger Orlando
attraction than mouse ears
Baby Jessica in a
well, Macondo pluming bigger than Valdez
Fixation of the
moment to bring us to our knees
Hundreds,
thousands, millions, tens, ones
Who’s mother,
who’s brother, who’s cousin, who’s son
As if we focus
enough on this particular story
We can find the
numerology of our humanity in the singularity event
Concentrated into
the density of our consciousness like the universe
Into a name, a
face, a story, a relatable nuance that allows our concern
To breath life
into lung-sacks of justice that unfortunately
The billion other
faces we do not have time to address have left riddled with holes
No inflation, no
rise, no sensation, not lies
Genuine
manufactured concern for what we were awarded with the benefit
Of hearing about,
fault is relative, most doing our best
Watching the
mythical ghost of justice
Perpetually
escape our reach like rainbows
