lately I have become
afraid of the right
as it yowls and screams
about indoctrination in
our schools
baying at the moon
about the plight of our
education
crying wolf whilst
whistling
the benefits of
homeschooling.
rolling down a road
towards incestuous order
deaf, blind, and dumb
slaves to their freedom
consuming happiness in
lunch boxes
dieting on Desperate
House Wives of Reality TV
doting on children
devouring adults in
prisons not factories
lately I have become
afraid that the right
will destroy my country
believing press release
news stories
those poor Kuwaiti babies
I can still remember their
screams
dragging us to war
in a sea of books without
pages
each one a symbol of
independence
unaware that fourth
graders don’t write in crayon
eating everything its
given
asking always for more
glorifying busy but glamorizing
health
inhaling all the oxygen
on spaceship earth.
