In an oil
drum turned jerk chicken barbeque meat
Dispense
the muscle, commence the hustle
On with the
rumble in the stumbles, for a leg up from the moor
Oh, look
out there the hurricane is coming to shore!
Jamaican
pride death tolls minority count the lives
Not like
New Yorkers two babies caught the subway for a dime
Smash the
babies in the tide, no electricity for a week
Tell me
New Orleans heard your screams,
Empathy
is such a gray bearded beast
Maybe now
we can see the tonic salesmen for what he tries to sell
Blame in
a bottle for why the world has all gone to hell
Peddlers
and smugglers I call outside the bubble
Living
Olive Garden lives, pull up to the drive through and activate demise
Order for
the value, all a man can eat, taking in the take-out
Cram the Styrofoam,
my wife and I will eat this and have enough to moan
My
stomach is overdone, need the Pepcid AC again,
Heart is
burning the news is on Amen
Oh look
honey look at that, sale is on at Macy’s and we need a new litter for the cat
She likes
the scent of that new one I am sure,
First
world contemplations of the current flavor of poor
Adulterating
problems to gather by candle light with the neighbors share the right
To
complain, to see the gas lines and the pews filling up with frustrated souls
I
remember the timeframe of Katrina and the reversing rolls
Empathy
is a tricky bastard sitting right aside, bust you in the head as soon as one
thinks
Could
have been me
